"Tech companies, especially TV manufacturers, have been on a quest to make their dominant, screen-based products disappear into our living spaces. We have seen TVs that mimic paintings, speakers disguised as lamps, and projectors that promise cinematic experiences from a tiny box. These efforts are often clever, but they usually feel like acts of concealment rather than true integration. They try to hide the technology, apologizing for its very presence in our carefully curated homes, which always strikes me as a missed opportunity."
"In a striking collaboration with Samsung, CANVAS has introduced The HiFi Frame, a product that frames the television, quite literally, with high-fidelity audio and art. It wraps Samsung's flagship TVs in a beautifully crafted enclosure that houses a powerful sound system, effectively transforming the entire setup into a single, cohesive piece of functional art. It presents the television and its audio not as something to be hidden, but as a deliberate centerpiece, a gallery piece for sound and image."
Consumer electronics efforts often attempt to hide large screens, producing TVs that mimic paintings, speakers that look like lamps, and compact projectors. These approaches frequently serve as concealment rather than genuine environmental integration and miss opportunities to enhance interiors. CANVAS HiFi collaborated with Samsung to create The HiFi Frame, a framed enclosure that brings high-fidelity audio and art around flagship Samsung televisions. The enclosure houses a powerful sound system and transforms 55–85 inch TVs into a unified, deliberate centerpiece. Designed by Carsten Beck and CANVAS HiFi, the product targets buyers seeking aesthetics and performance, priced between €5,000 and €10,000 depending on size and materials.
