'home living TV' by new york-based designer mike chen
is a re-interpreted television design that looks to reverse
the evolution of the familiar object.

looking to bring back the idea of TV as furniture, the
contemporary and pared back piece uses an aesthetic language
and materials that are familiar to a young generation.

two antennas on the top of the set become switches, moving
left and right to control channels and input modes. speakers on
the front and back are seamlessly integrated into the interface,
along with a 1950s style remote control that fits into a slot on
the front of the television when not in use.
