Yves Behar Redesigns Canal+ STB

French TV network Canal+ gets industrial designer Yves Behar and studio Fuseproject to provide a new look to the humble STB-- bringing about Le Cube S, a small black cube for the conversion of TV signals.

Le Cube SBeing a minimalist designer piece, the Le Cube S features just 4 control buttons located in the centre of textured quadrants. Meanwhile one side of the STB hides a colour 320x240 resolution display for the display of channel logos and notifications.

The cube sits on a white stand acting as HDD, allowing for an even smaller device.

"In order to maximise aesthetic discretion and fit in the home, we kept the cube a matt black, and made the display invisibly integrated into its surface," Behar says. "Its surface hides discreetly behind the matt black colouring of the device itself, seamlessly disappearing when not in use."

The Le Cube S is not the first Fuseproject Canal+ device-- in fact the studio has been creating STBs for the TV network for the past 8 years.
