A safe does not have to be a black metal box hidden in a cupboard or behind a painting. It can also be a decorative element of a study or a bedroom and its perfected appearance will make an outsider never suspect that he is dealing with an ultra-secure safe and not a beautiful chest of drawers.
A safe as a work of art?
It's possible – especially if a world-class artist was involved in its design. Such as Jean Tannous, for example. This Libyan (now living in Canada) artist is known for combining art with everyday life. His work ranges from car design to the decoration of Harley Davidson motorbikes. In the 1980s, he developed an innovative technique of combining various materials and protecting the resulting work with a thin, transparent and glossy layer of varnish. This method has become his trademark. As part of the "Art Tresor" collection, from the Hartmann Tresore brand, Jean Tannous has designed a dozen safes that add a unique style to the interior. These designer safes are designed for discerning and contemporary art-loving customers.
Leather, wood, chrome
Exclusive safes as stylish furnishings are luxurious premium line products finished in wood, leather, chrome or even gold. Although they conceal valuables, the safes themselves look extremely exclusive and are a distinctive element of the interior.
A safe like a painting
A safe hidden behind a painting is almost a classic. Let's reverse the situation and create a device that looks like a painting. This is exactly what the "Art Design" collection by Hartmann Tresore does. These safes, decorated with graphics, are a highlight for the study, office or living room. Of course, you can choose the graphics of your choice: use one of the more than ten available designs or – with the "Air Brush" range – apply any image or photograph to the door of the safe. In this way the device can become a carrier for any work of art.
Safes for special tasks
A safe may also be an element of interior design referring to the interests or hobbies of its owner. An example of this is the Hartmann Tresore safe, inspired by the design of a racing car bonnet. The interior of the device is reminiscent of a car engine, the construction of which is based on six aluminium rims. The entire safe is painted, of course, and the leather-lined interior makes it an extremely exclusive product. Most devices of this type are designed for special tasks – women's styles have special holders and containers for jewellery, men's ones are equipped with rotators for storing watches and drawers for men's ornaments.
