A TV GOES THERE

-- A TV goes there --
A/V system designs by Porro



The TV monitor evolution brings welcome change to home design.

 
The scale of the television up until the 90’s prohibited integration into most cabinetry systems, even into a wardrobe, usually requiring a special depth unit. Personally, I could not be happier that those days are long past being someone who has designed client storage solutions for the last 2 decades. Additionally having a cabinetry partner on the caliber of Porro completes the package of being able to design to meet the lofty dreams of any client.

At the helm for both design and engineering, architect Piero Lissoni and his firm design solutions to the newest challenges of the day. No gimmicks here, just clean, simple, intelligent solutions to make life easier, not more complicated.

A quote from Lissoni describing his process I think applies to his work at Porro: “The works are primarily about creating a visual silence, concentration on proportion and detail rather than a specific form. Lines and planes are carefully resolved into volumes, which in turn creates a visual harmony. “

If you prefer to hide your components or display them proudly,
Porro offers a solution to fit any need.
TV behind a sliding door or placed prominently on a special surface, ancillary components behind leaf/flap door, housed inside a special cabinet outfitted with signal repeaters to allow function even with the doors closed.

Whether you are looking for a grand statement, or a simple gesture Porro has done the study, engineering and hand fabrication to bring satisfaction to any A/V enthusiast. Proprietary materials, hardware, finishes and mechanisms ensure a Porro system will last the test of time, not only with its design, but its lifetime of usefulness.


Below are various examples from Porro of systems to house audio/video. Please enjoy and send a comment if you like.
