Another good hide-the-telly idea

Innovative ways to cut the clutter in the living room are booming, at least according to Gizmag’s statistics. Each time we run something like Reversica’s big screen concealment solution, or Sonance ‘s invisible' loudspeaker technology or even Onkyo’s combined speakers and television stand they get lots of traffic and lots of referrals (via the “send this article to a friend’ facility at the bottom of each page), which we presume is Partner A telling Partner B that they have found a way of elegantly combining technology into the living environment without the clutter. Might we be so bold as to suggest to all those manufacturers of megascreens that people don’t want to look at them ALL the time. Anyway, here’s another one, and this English Buffet Base won’t stand out in a room full of antiques.

Made by Fremarc Furniture, manufacturers of fine furniture, and available in most States of the USA, it's basically a traditional base with the facility for the screen to pop up from the otherwise inconspicuous English Buffet. The maximum dimensions for the television it can contain are 53"W x 9"D x 30"H and there’s also limited storage space for audio/video components.
