The black hole provided by flat screen TVs has plagued designers as well as homeowners for years. One prominent solution is hiding a TV within a gallery wall to downplay it, however Samsung, in partnership with designer Yves Béhar, has gone a step further with The Frame, a screen that mimics an artwork when the TV is off, right down to a grey or white ‘mat’ border. The screen is surrounded by a slim walnut or oak frame which attaches magnetically to 55” or 65” UHD screens, as well as the business logo is discretely put on the edge. While the TV is off, Art mode cycles with 100 high-definition works of art, or can screen an owner’s own art or household photos. “We designed it so it appears like the art is printed on paper, so it’s not at full brightness,” Béhar explains. “And a movement sensor in the screen means that if there’s nobody in the space then the photo turns off altogether.” The frame is because of be introduced this spring.
