Andree sent us this link to the Chiasso Contemporary TV Stand ($598).
This funky unit has a swivel base and a glass shelf that holds up to 35 lbs. of equipment, a wire-hiding column and Universal mount that holds up to 32" flat panel tv (shown, not included!!).
Include the half-dozen cables and cords and things necessary to hook up such a television and that thing'll look real nasty.
But put a painting on it and use the table as display area and it'd be a great art stand.
AP, it SAYS all the cords/cables go inside the column. Which I guess means all the cords and cables go inside the column. ;)
Of course, they don't show any cords or cables coming out the bottom anywhere, just like magazine lamps. IKEA is the only place I've ever seen cords coming from lamps, and they make cords look arty. I like that.
I like the idea of the modern easel for displaying artwork. Maybe getting a DVD of all the favorite art works, and having a moving/changing display of art on your TV, like a screen saver for a computer. Might as well get the most out of that TV if they cost so much!
