Twist for TV

This custom design features a motorized rotating cabinet that hides and reveals a high-definition TV, blending elegance with functionality.

Overview

This project was a unique and special collaboration with a prominent design professional and close friend. When remodeling her entire home, aesthetics were a priority, and she loved the idea of concealing her TV for a cleaner, more elegant look. The design called for a solution that would blend seamlessly with her home’s sophisticated decor. We leveraged our expertise to create a custom rotating cabinet system, allowing the TV to disappear into the built-in cabinetry with a simple spin, providing both function and beauty.
