Last year, PocketBook rocked up at CES with a series of large e-paper displays to display art on the walls of your home. This year, the company has turned up with a far larger, A1-sized model called the Duna, which it says mimics the “texture, depth and tonal richness of printed paper.” It’s intended to act as an upmarket alternative to those big screen TVs which display art when they’re not being used for their intended purpose.
Unsurprisingly, such a fancy product also needs some fancy accessories, so it’s recruited Italian design house Pininfarina to help. It claims the credit for the Duna’s “precision-engineered aluminum frame” and its “elegantly stitched Alcantara.” To celebrate the pairing, the InkPoster App will enable you to view original design sketches from the Pininfarina archives on your screens.
At last year’s CES, I saw the three smaller models in person and found them to be very promising. The colors are vibrant in a way you don’t expect from an e-paper display, and at a distance you could easily mistake these for a real canvas. Just don’t get too close to the screen itself, since you’ll still be able to see the pixels rather than brush strokes. I’m no expert, but I suspect the technology suits bold, blocky art styles — think modern artists like Modigliani — better than delicate, more antiquated forms.

As before, each InkPoster can be hung for up to a year on a single charge, refreshing from its library of licensed artwork according to your whims. Plus, you can use it as a digital photo frame, if you want to display your selfies at art gallery or movie poster sizes.
If you’re interested in buying one of the new models, you’ll have to wait until April, after the frames are exhibited at Milan Design Week in April. While we don’t have full pricing details right now, you can expect to pay something in the region of $6,000 for one.
