That's Cool

Want cool air in the summer but hate those ugly air conditioners? Do you swelter because of your finely honed aesthetic sense? Well, sweat no longer, with the ART COOL picture frame air conditioner:

LG Electronics today unveiled a picture-frame air conditioner as part of the ART COOL product line. The ART COOL line includes renditions of classic art pieces by famous painters such as Van Gogh and Sisley featured on the product's front panel. The picture-frame air conditioner can display your favorite image up to approximately 17-by-17 inches under its transparent front panel by simply opening the panel and replacing the image. Besides being pretty, the AC unit does other things, such as provide cool air to your environment and purify the air. Available in April 2006 in two different BTU levels 9,000 BTUs and 12,000 BTUs, with a MRSP $2,500 to $3,000.
