Design Details
- Unique Properties
- ViTi stand is a multifunctional video monitor installation system based on the principles of minimalism, functionality, intuition, aesthetics, safety and durability. Thanks to the use of golden proportions and an organic form, we have developed good structural stability and a slim shape. We reduced reflections by 95 percent by using light-absorbing paint.
- Inspiration
- Working on the stage, we encountered the problem of the lack of a system for installing video monitors. Based on many years of experience and Bauhaus concepts, we decided to create a multifunctional stand that meets our requirements: ergonomics, organic form, minimalism, functionality, intuitiveness, safety, durability. Using the golden ratio, mathematical concepts and material properties, we have achieved high stability and a harmonious shape inspired by nature.
- Research
- The aim of the study was to obtain a durable coating with a minimum degree of gloss on a steel streamlined surface. 4 tiles and their: hardness, gloss - photoelectric devices were tested. The factor determining these properties is the ratio of matting and hardening components. Techniques for processing rounded surfaces have been refined and the problem of light reflection has been eliminated, thanks to which the stage equipment can be durable and hardly visible in the camera.
- Challenge
- The challenge was to produce stands with our invented shape and rounded edges. It was a big challenge for us to find subcontractors who will comply with our requirements and meet our expectations.
- Realization and Technology
- Models designed in 3D technology cut with CNC laser from structural steel sheet. The models processed with a bender into an acute angle. The sandblasting process covered all the elements that covered with a certified powder paint with a fine structure. The stands were serigraphy by created information boards, among others, about the degrees of inclination. The components combined in the assembly process into the finished product.
- Operation and Interaction
- The device is bolted to the mounting plate (Vesa), which is inserted onto the shoulder of the stand. The height shall be determined by selecting one of the openings of the arm by twisting the locking knob through it. The Loco model is additionally equipped with a function of changing the angle of the shoulder from 0 to 60 degrees. By selecting the right hole we set the angle and locking using a pin-lock. It allows exposure as a stand-alone form, stage design or multimedia installation. Viti stands can be used e.g. as: stage view, VJ or performer; a stand for a touch, display or gaming monitor; table or floor video element.
- Project Duration and Location
- The project started in June 2020 in Warsaw and finished in May 2021.
