In 2004 TwoEyes and C10 set about to conceive a new LCD television specifically designed to respond to the European high-end consumer electronics market. C10’s project conviction was to generate a furniture based product that resolved the ‘black hole’ phenomenon of large (LCD) TVs. When a conventional LCD is not in use one has to look at a black void, the R4 resolves this by retracting its screen and offering the user freedom of movement. The removable upholstery adds to the dynamics of the product by allowing the owner to dress the R4 in a multitude of textiles, colours and prints fitting with or challenging its environment.
