Canvas HiFi’s €10,000 Soundbar Turns Samsung TV into a Stunning Art Piece at IFA 2025

Elevate your living space with Canvas HiFi’s art-inspired soundbar that seamlessly frames Samsung TVs, blending high-fidelity audio with striking design.

Breaking the “Black Rectangle” Curse with Style

Every year, IFA in Berlin becomes a battleground where tech brands battle the “black rectangle problem” — that nagging issue of TVs dominating our living rooms with their stark, screen-heavy presence. We've seen all sorts of clever tricks to disguise these screens: TVs doubling as paintings, speakers camouflaged as lamps, and tiny projectors promising cinematic magic.

But let’s be honest—these attempts often feel like hiding the tech away, apologizing for it being there. As a longtime fan of both design and sound, I’ve always felt this was a missed opportunity. Why settle for concealment when technology could enhance your room instead? Enter Canvas HiFi, a fresh Danish player who’s boldly rewriting the playbook.

The HiFi Frame: When Audio Meets Art

This year, Canvas HiFi unveiled The HiFi Frame in a striking collaboration with Samsung’s flagship TVs that transforms your TV into a gallery-worthy masterpiece. Quite literally framing Samsung’s flagship TVs with a beautifully crafted enclosure housing a powerful sound system, this product turns the TV and soundbar into one coherent, stunning unit.

Instead of trying to hide the TV, The HiFi Frame celebrates it — making your living room feel like a curated art space where sight and sound come together as a stunning statement.

A Perfect Match: Samsung’s TVs Meet Canvas HiFi’s Audio Ambition

Tying the soundbar to Samsung’s premium TV lineup is a savvy move that ensures the picture quality matches the audio’s excellence. The HiFi Frame fits Samsung’s top-tier TVs ranging from 55 to 85 inches, with prices from €5,000 up to €10,000 depending on size and material choices.

This isn’t just a soundbar; it’s an investment in aesthetic harmony and superior performance. Tailored for those who want their tech to complement their décor — and who aren’t shy about paying for it — this setup promises to be a long-lasting platform, not a fleeting trend.

Not Your Average Soundbar: Acoustic Mastery Inside the Frame

What truly sets The HiFi Frame apart from the sea of soundbars is its ambitious acoustic engineering. Forget about the usual bulky subwoofer boxes — Canvas HiFi claims their system delivers the deep authority of a 12-inch subwoofer without the extra bulk.

Inside its 24-liter enclosure, you’ll find two 6.5-inch woofers and passive radiators crafted by SB Acoustics, renowned for quality. A Burr-Brown DAC ensures clean digital-to-analog conversion, while BACCH 3D sound processing provides authentic spatial realism. This tech cancels crosstalk between channels, creating an immersive experience far beyond typical simulated surround sound tricks.

For audiophiles and casual listeners alike, this is a purist’s dream come true.

Art and Technology in Perfect Harmony

The crowning jewel of The HiFi Frame is its collaboration with Danish artist Carsten Beck. The front grille concealing the speakers is itself a work of art, featuring Beck’s geometric designs rendered in luxurious materials like Kvadrat textiles and FSC-certified wood.

But it doesn’t stop there — the same artwork appears digitally on the Samsung TV’s Art Mode when the screen is off, creating a captivating interplay between the tactile analog frame and the glowing digital canvas.

This thoughtful layering of art, design, and tech makes The HiFi Frame feel like a truly complete statement piece for the modern home.

“It presents the television and its audio not as something to be hidden, but as a deliberate centerpiece, a gallery piece for sound and image.”
