One of the things Susie and I saw yesterday on our exploration of San Francisco is the flagship U.S. store of Hannspree.
The company, based in Taiwan, produces flat screen televisions. But not your run-of-the-mill, silver or black or silver-with-black-highlights boxes.
In their gorgeous store, there were such odd, fanciful and creative designs it amazed me. For example, there was one shaped like a sheep, another like a crab, a monkey, an elephant, a giraffe, and other animals besides. There were apples, flowerpots, a baseball, a basketball… one that looked like it was made of wood.
The one I took a picture of was shaped like Batman. I don’t mean, shaped like a Batman logo or with a picture of Batman on it. I mean: it was shaped like BATMAN, crouched in the corner of your room ready to jump in a kick some bad dude’s butt.
No word on what the remote control looked like…
Hannspree isn’t in Canada yet. sigh.
