TWEE - T
A household with a caged bird has been commonplace from as early as 2,000 BC. Ancient hieroglyphics have shown the Egyptians keeping them as tributes to their gods and the beauty of nature . Romans caged parrots as a form of comedic entertainment.
Whilst in Medieval and Renaissance Europe, birds were usually only kept by royalty or the very wealthy as a sign of good breeding.
TWEE-T is a light that playfully re-imagines this once familiar and admired household object.
Bringing light, song and conversation into an environment.
