2008_02_13-tv-easel.jpgWe really like this concept for a TV stand. With adjustments for both height and angle, the fact that it mimics a painters easel makes us think that this would actually help blend a larger TV into a room rather than make it a focal point.

The integrated wheels are a nice touch as well. If you have a smaller space you can wheel the TV out for proper viewing and then tuck it away when you aren't watching it. Now this concept just has to turn into reality.

*We just realized that Ryan and I both posted this just around the same time, so we're appending this post with the additional information [Gregory]:

Like the idea? For now you'll have to go the DIY route because this is just a prototype concept developed by Axel Bjurstrom for home electronics brand Panasonic.

With the form of a traditional painter’s easel, the freestanding TV-rack on wheels is prefect for the open spaces often found in modern apartments. It is optimized for TV-sizes between 32-47” and it is adjustable in both height and angle. Material is solid wood, natural or lacquered.
