The Confluence of Technology and Design
Technology with an Artistic Twist
The most sophisticated homes share a common trait: their technology feels intentional, not intrusive. While many homeowners think they need to choose between exceptional audio-visual performance and refined aesthetics, one of our suppliers, Leon, has spent twenty-five years proving this compromise unnecessary. Through custom American craftsmanship and innovative technology concealment solutions, they transform functional AV equipment into design elements that complement your interior vision. From handcrafted hardwood frames that make any TV look like built-in cabinetry to moving artwork that conceals displays entirely, these solutions demonstrate that the best technology is often the technology you don't see.
Custom Framing: Elegant TV Integration
The Edge Media Frame system uses custom-built, solid hardwood frames and sophisticated mounting systems that elegantly encase any TV while concealing all borders, mounting hardware, and wiring. Built-to-order to match the exact dimensions of any TV brand, make, or model, these frames create the appearance of expensive built-in cabinetry without the construction costs or permanent installation. Available in Light Oak, Walnut, Cherry, Grain Black, Grain White, Matte Black & Matte White, exotic hardwoods, or any custom paint color, Edge frames accommodate any design aesthetic. The newest addition, the Edge Flex Frame, measures just 2.75 inches in installed depth and fits any ultra-thin TV less than 2 inches deep, including leading models from Sony, Samsung, and LG. The magnetic frame design simplifies service or maintenance, while integrated ventilation ensures electronics don't overheat within their elegant housing.
Soundbars to Match TVs and Design
The Horizon Series soundbars are custom-built to match the exact width of any TV, providing high-performance audio with a discreet aesthetic. Pioneers of the category, Leon has been handcrafting Horizon soundbars for over 20 years, offering multiple performance tiers from the Hz33 for smaller rooms to the flagship Hz700 with its 7-inch aluminum cone woofers and 25mm cloth-dome tweeters.
For lovers of the Samsung Frame TV and its TV as art aesthetic, Leon's FrameBar is handcrafted to match the width and finish of any Frame TV model, with cabinets as thin as 2.375 inches. Available in four finishes—white, black, brown, and beige—to match Samsung's Frame TV bezels, the FrameBar features 2.5-inch ultra-thin, audiophile-grade woofers and 22mm cloth-dome tweeters. While standard black fabric grilles come included, designer grille fabric upgrades provide even more customization options.
The Art of Concealment: Moving Artwork Solutions
One of Barrett’s Technology Solutions' most innovative approaches to technology integration involves making displays disappear entirely behind artwork that looks like it belongs in a museum. The Moving Art Screen system conceals any TV behind beautifully printed scrolling artwork that moves up and down at the touch of a button. For large-scale installations, the Illusion Moving Art Screen accommodates displays up to 120 inches while maintaining the refined aesthetic of a traditional art piece.
The Eclipse Art Lift takes concealment a step further, transforming your TV into an artistic focal point with artwork from your personal collection. Available in multiple models for different installation requirements, these lifts reveal or conceal displays with smooth, quiet operation and invisible tracks. Some configurations can integrate Leon's high-performance speakers behind the artwork to deliver exceptional sound while maintaining the illusion of a purely decorative element.
American Craftsmanship, Modern Technology
Barrett’s Technology Solutions built relationships with suppliers who provide quality and longevity. Every Leon Media Decor product is designed and handcrafted in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by skilled artisans who understand that custom integration requires attention to detail that mass production cannot provide. This built-to-order approach means no off-the-shelf limitations, whether you need a frame for an unusual TV size, a specific wood finish to match existing millwork, or a soundbar configuration that fits your exact requirements.
The commitment to merging design with technology has resulted in solutions that delight architects, interior designers, and discerning homeowners who refuse to compromise their vision for the sake of functionality.
