Home entertainment concept — Philips Flavors with replaceable frames.
At the Simplicity Event, Philips illustrates the concept of «Smart and Simple» ; through a comprehensive line of products and solutions that are easy to use and designed with the consumer in mind.
Flavors is a home entertainment system that can be customized to match your personal style and home decor.
Users can change the appearance of the equipment to suit their own style.
The concept was developed based on the wishes of customers who are tired of standard solutions in the field of black home electronics.
Flavors is a flat, glossy white TV with interchangeable bezels.
Removable frames are available in a variety of colors and finishes, and frame replacement takes just a few seconds.
The remaining components of the Flavors home theater also have the ability to change frames.
The frame can be replaced at any time with a frame of a different color, pattern or material, thanks to hidden magnets inside the TV.
The same principle is used in the rest of the home theater components.
The Flavors TV has been specially designed to be wall-mountable.
Philips offers a special mounting system that allows you to easily and securely mount your TV to the wall. The fastening system is 16 mm thick and consists of one piece.
The white cables were specially designed to match the TV’s finish and color match the white walls (as opposed to the standard black cables).
The remote control is made in white gloss, like the TV itself.
As a finishing touch, Flavors products allow you to select the on-screen menu style to match the frame you choose.
Thus, the frame around the screen corresponds to what is happening on the screen (for example, the «Pink Passion» frame corresponds to the «Pink Passion» style OSD menu).
Flavors has been tested in various countries and has been sold in Europe since September 2008. Philips chose Italy as the product launch country.
The company offered Italian customers 12 frames, which were selected from 70 options as a result of a consumer survey.
Frames are available in a variety of colors, patterns, and finishes for both TV and home theater components.
Today the following colors are available: Blue, Chili Red, Yellow Sun, Black Night, Pure White; drawings – Silver Garden, Night Garden, Pink Passion, Silver Ripple, Blue Fusion; Materials – Sunset Aluminum (black aluminum) and Pure Aluminum (silver aluminum).
