Especially in modern living concepts, where open spaces, clear lines and discreet aesthetics dominate, the question arises: How do I hide my TV without sacrificing comfort and functionality?

Why hide the TV?

• Aesthetics: TVs often disrupt the harmonious furnishings. A living room looks more elegant if the technology remains in the background.

• Spatial impact: In open-plan kitchens or lofts, a visibly positioned TV can have a negative impact on the spatial effect.
• Safety & care: Hidden devices are less susceptible to dust, damage or prying eyes.

The idea of camouflaging artwork

Artwork camouflage combines function and design. The TV is concealed behind a picture, poster or printed canvas concealed. When switched off, all you see is a decorative work of art - the TV remains invisible. When it is the picture moves automatically so that the screen becomes visible.

This is exactly where the Flatlift picture lift system comes into play: it enables a work of art to be moved electrically to free up the television behind it. At the touch of a button, the picture slides elegantly up or down and reveals the technology - quietly, precisely and conveniently.
