PHILIPS HEADPHONES
Agency: Ogilvy & Mather, London
As part of Philips' urban headphones campaign, ‘You Need To Hear This’, pub goers across east London got a chance to listen to trending music curated specifically for their neighbourhood by plugging their headphones into custom tables.
Three tables were built featuring hand illustrated typography and iconography inspired by its respective neighbourhood – all prompting people to plug their headphones directly into the table (Philips headphones were provided by the bar). The very talented Alison Carmichael and I worked together to create the ‘Hackney’ table with surfaces entirely handmade using three types of wood: American oak, fumed oak and maple, using a range of techniques including marquetry, laser etching, wood burning and hand distressing.
