Branching Television Stands

Tree 2.0 by Hall Design is as Practical as It is Good-Looking

— October 4, 2012 — Art & Design
It is not often that the television stand gets a lot of love in the design department, but the Tree 2.0 proves that once in a while, the unexpected does happen. Instead of focusing on clean lines and a contemporary aesthetic that complements the television's own hi-tech look, the Tree 2.0 is more of a sculptural creation. As its name suggests, the Tree 2.0 takes on the tree-like shapes. From the slender trunk to branching shelves, the television rests above it like one big leaf.

Created by Hall Design, the branches of the Tree 2.0 serve a bigger purpose than simply enhancing the tree motif. It hides unsightly cords and wires. The shelves provide storage for DVD players and gaming systems.
Trend Themes
1. Sculptural Furniture - Opportunities for furniture designers to create practical pieces that also have an artistic, sculptural aesthetic.
2. Integrated Storage - Incorporating storage solutions into furniture designs that seamlessly blend with the overall aesthetic and functionality of the piece.
3. Wire Management - Developing creative ways to hide cords and wires in furniture designs, eliminating unsightly clutter and improving the overall look and functionality of a room.
Industry Implications
1. Furniture Design - Innovative designers can experiment with new shapes and styles for furniture, incorporating practical features like storage and wire management in unique ways.
2. Home Decor - As consumers seek out unique and visually-striking pieces to decorate their homes, there is an opportunity for designers to create new and innovative furniture designs that capture their attention.
3. Home Entertainment - The Tree 2.0 and other creatively-designed entertainment stands offer opportunities for manufacturers to create products that enhance the entertainment experience while also providing aesthetic and functional value.
