Preserving the Discretion of Our Technology
Ambiguous as design may be, we know the look of sophistication when we see it. An Eames for Herman Miller rocker. A futuristic Bodiam chandelier. A Liam Everett painting.
Savvy design in technology, especially the kind reserved for the home, is measured by its 
level of discretion. In other words, the less we see of it, the more impressed we are—which can be a tall challenge for a 55-inch flatscreen. But not an impossible one. Allow us to introduce you to a couple of options that’ll maintain that minimalist aesthetic.
The Vertical Step-Back and Rise-Door-Opening Module is designed to hide your TV no matter how spare your décor.
It’s a fully automated system in which a door in the wall, sized to your specifications, retracts then ascends behind the wall, exposing your TV, slightly recessed, where only a moment earlier there was a clear expanse of wall.
The Rigid Panel Mover, similarly, is crafted to hide the TV behind a panel or a flat piece of art. When initiated by touchscreen-command, the flat-panel TV lift slides the camouflaging object horizontally or vertically to expose a flatscreen embedded in the wall.
For perhaps the most dramatic reveal of them all, the fold-down ceiling flatscreen TV unit holds the TV in a surprisingly shallow enclosure in the ceiling (a mere six inches, on average), from which the TV promptly lowers, by touchscreen command, for viewing. From there, swiveling and extension options are available.
Once, our rooms were defined by the furniture they contained. Today, they’re marked by the lack of their contents. The appearance of it, at least.
