Give Your Photos a Touch of Sophistication with Andrée Putman

PARIS—(BUSINESS WIRE)—Parrot (Paris: PARRO), the specialist in wireless mobile telephony devices, is launching today an exceptional digital photo frame created by the leading lady of French design, Andrée Putman. Sporting a pure and sober design that skilfully contrasts the black and white tones with a subtle play of transparency, the frame faithfully respects the Putman style sought-after worldwide from New York to Tokyo.

The Parrot digital photo frame by Andrée Putman combines technology with art: with this frame, savour the luxury provided by an extraordinary artist.

“I would like to pay tribute to Parrot for daring to think that this wonder of technology could be coiled up inside a beautiful wrapping,” explains Andrée Putman. “Storage fans will be the most vulnerable to the charms of this object, which will overcome any problems of arranging photo souvenirs,” she adds.

“Here at Parrot, we have always put design in the limelight. The Parrot frame by Andrée Putman is the first in a series of artistic dedications for our range of wireless audiovisual products,” advises Henri Seydoux, CEO and founder of Parrot.

Easily transfer your most wonderful moments from your mobile phone straight to the Parrot digital frame by Andrée Putman without a single wire in sight thanks to Bluetooth® technology. Also take advantage of the frame’s multiplicity of connections to upload all your photos via an SD card or by connecting a mini USB cable, irrespective of the source.

A unique interface inspired by Andrée Putman’s minimalist design allows your photos to be managed intuitively. Because the emphasis is on picture quality, Parrot offers the very best in display technology: the LCD screen with a 15 cm diagonal measurement displays up to 262 144 shades of colour for bright, strikingly realistic souvenirs.

Thanks to the customised light setting, your photos will keep all their character and sparkle. Just like all the other Parrot digital photo frames, the frame automatically rotates and resizes all your photos to stylishly fit the screen. Rotate the frame and the photo is automatically switched to the right position as if by magic!

The Parrot digital photo frame by Andrée Putman also lets you customise the display with a wide range of slideshows. Change the selection to suit your mood - the frame features an internal memory capable of storing over 400 photos!

The Parrot digital photo frame by Andrée Putman will be available in exclusive concept stores across Europe and Asia in June 2008 for an MSRP of 299 Euros / £249.99.
