Piero Fornasetti Comes to a Screen Near You

Filed under: Art


It's the flat screen tv as canvas -- design co. Detour Moves has compiled a disc of animated interpretations of Fornasetti designs, inspired by Italian designer Piero Fornasetti's Theme & Variations. Each disc holds more than 500 images that rotate on your television, transforming a blank screen into changeable art that's peering at you -- this is Fornasetti after all -- as often as you peer at it.

The 3,000 discs were produced in a limited edition and come in a unique black lacquer box. All for $175.

Mirror Collage Plasma TV Cabinet

Filed under: Decor, Gadgets


Some plasma televisions are works of art in and of themselves and to hide them would be a shame. But most aren't so fabulous and are better kept out of sight when not in use. There are lots of clever ways to conceal a flat-screen television - I've seen them behind panels, paintings and drapes as well as inside pop-up entertainment centers. But as far as a remedy to the unsightly black hole of the television, this one gets points for creativity. Wood-framed beveled mirrors of different sizes overlap in an artful arrangement that not only hides your flat-screen television, but adds light and space to your room. The overall dimensions are 71"W x 11"D x 51" and the cabinet will accommodate most 50" plasma televisions. $4649.

Samsung Wireless HDTV

Filed under: Gadgets

Flat panel TVs look great, sleek and far less bulky than any ordinary TV, especially if you choose a large screen size. Unfortunately, unless you have a niche in the wall carved out for the screen - which is a good idea, but can be a hassle - there will be wires along your wall connecting the cable, DVD and any other relevant equipment. The Samsung SPD-50P7HDT Wireless is a 50" flat screen that solves these problems. It comes with a wireless AV center to which all of your extra equipment can attach. The center then transmits the signals to the screen, hanging wire-free (except for the power cord) on the wall. It's only available in Korea at the moment, and is priced around $5,000.
