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.
