The kitchen changes when the TV moves. Family time with layout-free TV, experienced by Gwenael Nicolas.

It has been 30 years since I moved to Japan from France. Interior designer Gwenael Nicolas handles a variety of spaces, from hotels to restaurants to high-fashion boutiques. I visited his home full of his outstanding design philosophy and thought about the important time to spend with his family through "Layout Free TV TH-43LF1".

The kitchen next to the white living room that opens in front of you when you open the entrance is a calm dark color. In Gwenael Nicolas's house, the contrast of colors impresses the space. "My wife is on weekdays and I stand in the kitchen on holidays, and I'm in charge of cooking for each. The reason why the kitchen is black is that the dirt and scratches on the counter are not noticeable, and the maintenance is also good. It's easy. I choose it for practical reasons rather than design. "Nikola continues to work in the kitchen without stopping. During cooking, I often turn on the TV in the living room. "When I'm watching TV and it's an interesting scene, I often stop cooking and lean out from the counter and stare at the screen. But with this layout-free TV, I can move it to my favorite place. If you put it next to the counter, you can do "cooking while cooking". If your family gathers there, you can enjoy conversation while watching TV. Since you can communicate with your family naturally, you will have more opportunities to stand in the kitchen. With layout-free TV, the kitchen is transformed from a "cooking place" to a "family communication space."

● More freedom in room layout.

Nicola's philosophy is to reduce waste as much as possible and make the space look neat. At home, after securing plenty of storage space, we pay attention to details such as putting all the wiring of AV equipment in the groove dug in the side of the floor. "Especially TVs need multiple cables to connect to antennas and tuners. To minimize the elements, how many functions are integrated into one device to flexibly meet the needs of users. It is also an important point to do this. ”Layout-free TV has a separate monitor and tuner, and by wirelessly transmitting 4K broadcasts, the TV itself can be watched anywhere in the space as long as it is connected to a power source. .. "In the conventional living space, we had to think about the layout around the TV fixed to the wall, so there was a limit to the interior design. This TV is a new existence that is free from the preconceived notion. Room layout, isn't it? You can think more freely about the room, so you can easily change the room according to the seasons and changes in your life. "
