Fine Art Tapestries Prepares To Thrill Vegas

Fine Art Tapestries, the world’s leading supplier of contemporary tapestry art, will unveil a definitive new system to conceal a flat screen television in its Las Vegas showroom, Building C, #C-653.

A problem exists in the marketplace: consumers are frustrated at the lack of attractive solutions to hide flat panel TVs. Flat panel TVs look great when turned on, but are an eyesore when not in use. Fine Art Tapestries has partnered with Draper Industries to create motorized roll-away art that can beautifully conceal any flat panel TV.

According to George Clark, President of Fine Art Tapestries, interior designers indicate that their number-one concern for the coming years is how to conceal the ever-growing flat panel displays. “Our tapestry art is an ideal medium for this process as it is very durable, large and flexible,” says Clark. “More importantly, our art is modern and attractive, with a wide selection that can suit any home. Most of our art will cover TVs up to 50 inches wide, and we have a reasonable selection of tapestries that will conceal TVs up to 65 inches.” Each unit will come with a remote control to reveal the TV, and the remote can be either infrared or wireless and programmed with the TV remote.

“Our customer base likes the woven tapestry products as tapestries create an acoustic elegance in a room, absorbing ambient sound,” Clark adds. “We have also been told that to create an environment that is Feng Shui, the television must be covered. We are excited about our Tapestry TV Covers and look forward to making a big splash at the Las Vegas Market.”

Got a bland flat screen TV stealing space in a room? Fine Art Tapestries, located in Building C, #C-653, solves the problem with an innovative new system to conceal
a flat screen TV.
