'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.
