tv units
as we all have size requirements in our houses, we need furnishings that despite their size can be positioned in areas of limited space. this is where the concept for flat.c comes from. designed to house books and a television as well as all hi-fi accessories in the smallest amount of space possible, it also provides a convenient solution for electrical wiring and arranging the wires in cable ways. flat.c is only 25cm in depth: the thickness of the shelves and sides have been extremely reduced.
it is the result of a very simple idea: a sheet folded in half and restrained by light ties, designed to be used as a bookshelf and top. in time, pab has become a very successful system, and has grown from the original project into the wide range of configurations and different finishes that make up this year's current version. besides the shelf and back panels, a series of storage units and a number of multi-purpose benches are now available. finishes make up an important part of this identity.
designed by alain gilles, this tv stand is a piece with considerable impact even though it has a simple and linear design. sculptural appears as a single wooden element supported by five legs which form the base. the surface develops in a downward arc while it has a cavity in the rear which is useful for concealing cables, thereby ensuring the maximum in aesthetic performance.

two new podium chests are on offer. each one has a niche for a soundbar in the top section which is closed by a batyline cover (choice of white, argile or éléphant). this soundbar niche is located above a flap door in the podium chest w140. with a drawer on each side, it is also above a large full-width flap door in the podium chest w210. podium chests can also take an optional induction charger and a hub with a schuko plug (e.g. for a pc) and two 5v usb ports (for charging two mobile phones).
the canaletto collection of glazed units is a small but very singular range. the upper section is completely glazed, both front and sides, with a ridged glass with a widely-spaced linear pattern. the glass of the doors is mounted flush with the smoked, brushed anodised aluminium frames, held in place by invisible glue beneath a bronze martingale. the base is in steel, with 12mm roundels mounted like an array of bamboo for solidity and lightness; it contrasts with the top.
an elegant modular range combining lacquer with solid wood. note the quality of finish as embodied by the dark walnut lip which serves as a handle for the doors. it responds perfectly to contemporary requirements of a modular system, offering solutions for hi-fi and storage, plus shelving and a sideboard.
numéro111 and michel then decided to develop the clyde range, taking as a starting point its essential characteristics – the brass-coated or black lacquered steel structure with its v-shaped supports and the way in which the tops are superposed. and so two new pieces were born: a bookcase and a multi-use low unit (low bookcase, low open sideboard, TV,...).
uprights are in 15 x 15mm anodised aluminium section in a brushed bronze finish. these frame the wooden panels which are finished in argile lacquer on the interior faces and in a choice of 16 colours for all visible exterior faces: satin white, argile and perle (standard), rouge, bleu, bleu lavande, chocolat, mastic, noir, azur, brique, éléphant, moutarde, ranger, plomb and bleu nuit (to order).
et cetera is a vertically-constructed programme (assemblies of side panels, shelves, back panels and fronts). basically a range of shelving, it is further enriched by the additional functions of an occasional unit: storage (opaque or glass doors, shelves, drawers), audiovisual equipment and lighting.
