We understand the importance of designing a space that reflects your personal style and adds character to your living area. We love to incorporate the request of concealing the TV and create an impactful design statement in the process. After all, who wants to see black screen in the center of the room?!
One of our signature elements and favorite design tip is incorporating organic shapes into our designs. These natural curves and angles bring an interesting visual element to the console while also making it stand out from traditional rectangular consoles. Our use of mixed materials such as metal, glass, and wood can also adds depth and texture to the overall design.

For instance, incorporating Soss hinges, as showcased in the accompanying video, can provide an elegant solution. These hinges boast a sleek appearance and open a full 180 degrees, offering optimal accessibility. Unlike regular kitchen hinges, Soss hinges are installed within door edges and adjacent panels, requiring sacrificing surrounding cupboards for a seamless look.

4. A projector descends when needed
Concealing your television in the ceiling, where it rolls down, offers a smart way to integrate entertainment into your space while maintaining a sleek design. This approach lets you enjoy your TV without it dominating the room when not in use.

This setup also allows for a projector to be integrated, providing a versatile entertainment solution. Both the television screen and projector retract into the ceiling, maximizing floor space and keeping the environment clutter-free. This is especially useful in rooms where space is limited or a minimalist aesthetic is preferred.
The beauty of this design lies in its ability to effortlessly transform the room. With the touch of a button or remote, the television screen or projector descends from the ceiling, ready to provide immersive entertainment. Once done, they retract back into the ceiling, leaving a clean and uncluttered space.
This setup enables flexible room layout and design. With the television and projector hidden when not in use, you can freely arrange furniture and décor without being restricted by large screens or projectors.
