Aire Media Stand

Aire Media Stand is able to hold a screen up to 60" and 100kg, adding audiovisual technology to any meeting, presentation or training setting. Customise the colour of the stand with Schiavello’s ColourLab palette’s selection of powder coat options.

Made of aluminium and steel, the unit is robust, strong and longwearing. Despite this, its shares the elegant and lightweight design language that has become synonymous with the Aire collection.

Four large castors combine with inconspicuous handles to make moving and manoeuvring the stand effortless. Meanwhile, the unit’s small tabletop leaves space to rest a tablet or laptop while presenting, and a cable cubby keeps all cables tidy and out of the way.

The Aire collection’s four pieces – Aire Fold, Aire Work Bench, Aire Meeting and Aire Media Stand – were all designed together and share a familiar design, creating unity and a coherent aesthetic across the workspace.

After extensive research into the industry’s leading media stands, Schiavello Design Studio identified the need for an effective, considered and elegant unit. Most media stands on the market were found to be cumbersome and lacked efficient design thinking. When a user is writing on the screen, the legs of most stands would get in the way, cables would drag behind when the unit was moved, and visually, they were generally chunky with very little aesthetic appeal.

Together with designer Mario Ruiz, Schiavello Design Studio worked to blend the lightweight, sleek elegance of Mario Ruiz’s Aire Table with a practical media stand, suitable for the 21^st century. This evolution of the Aire range worked to bring the collection forward with the integration of digital products and technology to support the everyday workplace.

The Aire Media Stand features an unparalleled level of efficiency, with an integrated power and data panel, a single, unpluggable power cord, ergonomic handles and high-quality castors that make moving the heaviest of screens an effortless task. Combined with the lightness of Aire legs – that remain out of the way no matter the task – the unit is an industry-leader, making the integration of digital screens simple and streamlined.

Mario Ruiz has a 20-year product design career that spans furniture, technology, lighting, office and applied graphics. His skill and multidisciplinary experience has seen him collaborate with over 120 companies worldwide and be acknowledged with more than 40 awards in Europe and the United States.

In 2011, a mutual friend introduced Mario and Peter Schiavello. With a penchant for talented designers, Peter asked Mario to design products that would meet the needs of the future, one of which was the Aire Table. Since Schiavello had produced a number of successful desking products, the company’s design and manufacturing were well equipped to bring such a versatile and light design to fruition.
