The television that is present within many living rooms is often a point of contention that leaves inhabitants and designers alike a bit thrown off, so the Inkel 'Reinterpret' TV is intended to help make it appear more useful and functional.
Rather than simply appearing as a black piece of technology on the wall or being disguised, the TV is incorporated with a shelf on the top portion to increase the capabilities of the essential item. This can be a spot to hold peripherals, decorative items and much more to maximize space use without the need for additional equipment.
The conceptual Inkel 'Reinterpret' TV is the design work of Seo Joung Yu and Yea Seul Kim, and identifies the need for more functional technology products for the home as our spaces continue to shrink in size.
