Mike Chen Creates a Television that Adds to One's Home Decor
Meghan Young — March 5, 2011 — Art & Design
Sit back and take a good look at your television, you'll notice that it has taken on a rather generic form that boasts performance rather than looks, but Mike Chen wants to change all of that. Instead of focusing on how thin your TV is or what the specs are, Mike Chen looks at it as another piece of furniture--not something that simply sits on top of furniture.
Mike Chen's retro-inspired TV brings to light the issue of form as opposed to bare-bones function. It makes more of a statement than simply playing TV shows and movies. Mike Chen has succeeded in making the TV truly part of one's home decor.
Although inspired by a vintage feel, Mike Chen has also gone the minimalist route that really makes this TV stand out.
