TV Unit with Natural Oak Acoustic Slats, a Recessed Bookcase and Substantial Timber Console
This bespoke media unit combines the tactile warmth of natural timber with a sculptural architectural approach. Slim vertical oak acoustic slats extend to the ceiling, accompanied by a two-part bookcase tower on the left combining enclosed storage and open display. A low timber console runs along the floor. Concealed warm linear LEDs at 2700K–3000K illuminate the slatted wall from its upper edge, creating a calm, monolithic and sophisticated atmosphere.
Material and Colour Balance
Floor-to-ceiling natural smoked-oak vertical acoustic slats with rhythmic shadow gaps form the TV backdrop.
A twin-column natural timber open bookcase/display tower sits between two tall enclosed timber storage volumes on the left.
A low natural oak-veneered console with wide drawers and a recessed plinth runs continuously beneath the slatted wall.
A concealed warm linear LED profile at 2700K–3000K along the ceiling junction washes down the acoustic slats, emphasising their texture.
Herringbone oak parquet, a warm textured beige rug and a contemporary coffee table combining smoked glass and solid timber create an organic, tone-on-tone material palette.
Architectural Composition and Spatial Hierarchy
A unified timber texture: matching veneer tones across the wall, cabinets and console eliminate the impression of separate furniture pieces, creating a single architectural elevation.
Rhythm and reflected light: concealed lighting from above deepens the linear rhythm of the vertical slats, turning a flat wall into a sculptural focal point.
A vertical division of functions: the left-hand volume provides tall storage and display, while the slatted panel on the right creates a calm backdrop for the TV and soundbar.
Technical and Functional Details
Integrated acoustics and service channel: the structural layer behind the slats combines acoustic felt to reduce reverberation with a concealed route carrying multimedia cables into the console.
Handleless push-to-open hardware: push-to-open runners and hinges on the tall cabinet doors and console drawers preserve uninterrupted timber grain.
Concealed ventilation and equipment layout: passive ventilation openings within the recessed plinth and behind the drawers help prevent electronic equipment from overheating.
