Social Comments – Electric Joey

Design: Jeremy Walton
Social Comments

Simple unobtrusive TV stand with cover for small televisions suitable for rooms where the focus point is not always the telly. The design is inspired and comments on social observation of how we live. In this example in relation to the background noise of the constantly switched on television set. The TV stand and covers acts as a prompt to turn the television off and place it out of mind.

“Joey the family budgerigar (small bird) would sing all day, a constant background noise. He would sleep only in the dark. We treated him as part of the family.”
