Default Help identifying remembered 80s bellows shaped television, possibly Philips

It’s basically shaped like a hinged blow-bellows, like it was a flatscreen and could potentially be folded back unto itself.
Of course all pretend, in solid molded plastic.
The brand is possibly Phillips.
Anyone know the model?

Are you certain 'bellows' is the correct English word?

Blaasbalg is the Dutch word, the Danish word is probably similar given the English translation.

I know exactly which set you mean, it's from the 1990's, probably a 15" set with an Anubis A chassis. I'll try and find it.

Oh, right! I've never seen one of those. Maybe Philips didn't make a version for the UK market.

I recall they were made in Italy. I remember seeing them used as monitors on kids TV show 'Bad Influence!' in the early/ mid-nineties.

Thank you so much guys!
This has been popping up in my mind ever since I saw it, every other year or so, but I never actually made the effort to search it out.
Great looking set.

If you would like to own one they turn up regularly over here on eBay but obviously it will be 6Mhz intercarrier sound. I’m sure it has a scart socket so external inputs wouldn’t be a problem.

The 6MHz version would have /05 as a suffix for the model number.

That's right up there with the "KB Toaster". I reckon we should call it the "Philips Accordion".
