In an age when bigger, thinner, and faster define the devices of today, renowned French designers Erwan and Ronan Bouroullec take a different approach to television design.

 

Serif TV, which the brothers developed in collaboration with Samsung, boasts a bold, wide frame and minimalist design that naturally melts into its surroundings without being overly dominant. Like the television, its parts and the packaging that contains it are just as simple and refined, as seen in the unboxing photos below.

Even the box is different—clean and elegant with little very little product description. After all, it’s what’s on the inside that matters most.

 

The clear, black screen and bordering frame of the TV give the impression that the device is a high-end decorative item more so than a home appliance.

The eye-catching attributes of Serif TV extend beyond the television itself. Even the designs of the accessory kit, user manual and stand packaging are consistent with the Bouroullecs’ concept of minimalism.
