The Silhouette is over 3m tall

Planar Systems has this week unveiled its new Planar Silhouette product, described as a 'video display sculpture' measuring more than 10' (3m) tall, designed 'to elicit an emotional response through imagery and form' from clients of designers and architects.

The product comprises LCD screens, 'configured in a well-balanced array, forming a flexible digital canvas', says Planar. It also has applications in trade shows, and retail, corporate and hospitality environments, the company adds.

"At Planar, our vision is to take digital displays to the multi-billion-dollar building materials and wall coverings market as an inspiring innovation, creating the category of architectural displays," says Jennifer Davis, vice-president of marketing, Planar Systems. "The Silhouette is an illustration of how our products can be employed in new ways with architectural intention."

The Planar Silhouette made its debut at the Avant Gallery in Miami Beach, Florida as part of the Design Miami art event.
