Chicago LCD Furniture
Mayflower Designs today introduced its Chicago line of TV-oriented furniture. Both the Chicago Bed and the Chicago Cabinet (pictured) depend on a hidden door mechanism that lifts an LCD or other flat-panel TV mounted inside the furniture. The system is useful for space-conscious viewers or those who prefer to keep their TV out of sight, Mayflower says; since the system closes over the TV completely after it retracts, it also prevents damage or theft of the frequently valuable electronics. The cabinet holds room for DVD players and other peripherals. Available today, pricing can vary for either Chicago piece as each can be custom-ordered with different materials and sizes.
