- Production Technology
- WALL A2 features a simple 7-shaped design that fits to the modern aesthetic principles.
For easy manufacturing and assembly, the structure was simplified to the limit consisting of a steel pipe welded to a plate. The circular base and TV mounting frame were secured with screws. Satin powder coating was applied to the entire body, and a woodgrain finish was baked on the surface of the supporting pillar giving a texture of high-quality furniture. - Design Challenge
- WALL A2 will be placed in various places away from a wall, it was necessary to minimize its appearance and reduce the installation space needed. To achieve both compact size and stability, the balance of the center of gravity of this TV stand was calculated and verified multiple times in a lab that can simulate the strongest earthquakes in Japan. The low-profile casters we contribute to enhance its stylish design, resulting in an impressive base thinness of 26 mm.
- Research
- The ever-increasing diversity of viewing styles prompted us to rethink if the conventional stationary TV benches and stands could cover the needs of all users. WALL A2 was conceived as a proposal to address such needs: a TV stand that can placed anywhere in a house to suit the preferred viewing style and living environment. Thus, we created a TV stand that has a compact and stylish shape, can be placed anywhere, can have its height adjusted, and allow the direction of the screen to be changed.
- Inspiration
- TVs are no longer just for watching TV programs, but have become personal devices for enjoying a variety of entertainment such as streaming, games, and online fitness programs. TV stands should allow anyone to place a TV anywhere in a room according to the viewing preference if the users rather than to spatial requirements. In response to this idea, we started the project to develop a TV stand that would provide a high degree of freedom for installing a TV.
- Project Duration
- The project started in May 2021, and its development was completed in June 2022. The product was put into the market in August 2022.
- Operation Flow
- WALL A2 can accommodate TVs (from 24 to 80 inch) from various manufacturers. It provides a 5-level height adjustment, and the casters allow an easy mobility. The ‘7’-shaped stand gives a sensation as if the TV screen is emerging out of the surroundings and enhances the viewers immersive audio-visual experience. Optional shelves are provided to accommodate peripheral devices and all the cables run inside the supporting pillar hidden from outside.
