Custom Multimedia Console
Materials: EXPEDIT + 1 board + metal reinforcement + fixing material
Description: How to build a cheap console (less than 200 euros including 85 euro Ikea furniture) to put
- one video projector
- one multimedia amplifier
- two surround speakers
- one STB
- two video-game consoles
with three constraints:
- no visible wire
- wallpaper behind should still be visible
- people should say "it doesn't fall"?
1st step: make a scheme with respect to your wall length and height.
The whole illusion is based on the horizontal wood board on the floor which has to be reinforced with some metal
2nd step: assemble all elements horizontally on the floor having in mind that you need very long screws because agglomerated is very soft especially in horizontal direction
3rd step: get some help to get all vertical, with the soft agglomerated, you should push all elements together else screws will snatch
4th step: add some decoration like colored LEDs and flowers

Not sure i like it ..... but still, well done
ReplyDeleteJust looks like its falling over. Still you reinforced it well.
ReplyDelete1) why are all kinds of wires visible, then?
ReplyDelete2) it doesn't make me say "why doesn't it fall," it makes me say "i wonder why that guy stacked a bunch of crap haphazardly, and then screwed it all together."
Love, love, love it!
ReplyDeleteGreat ideas & execution!
Amazing with the colored lights!
Looks funny, you have some crazy ideas!
ReplyDeleteMy first reaction was, "why? What for?" I suppose is a matter of taste and design. But is not my "style" at all.
Still, well done, you manage to built according to your plans.
You definitely smoked some good grass before you made this!! Lol
ReplyDeleteVery cool looking! Well done. It may not be everyone's taste, but it is very interesting looking, creative, and well executed.
ReplyDeletePS3's bd player won't last long in that position.
ReplyDeleteI'm nominating this for the most stupid IKEA hack of 2012!
ReplyDeleteI like the idea. but it looks a little to cramped.
ReplyDeletelool, i agree with the last anonymous :))
ReplyDeleteI love the idea, very creative! It's a great eye catcher.
ReplyDeleteIt's certainly different, but it looks like the only supports between the pieces are hinges... I wouldn't place anything heavy on it. Definitely not my PS3 or anything of value.
ReplyDeleteDon't listen to the haters - I appreciate your creativity! Nice job.
ReplyDeleteI like the clean simplicity of ikea shelving. This just looks like a thrown together mess. Guess its not for me.
ReplyDeletelooks like shit
ReplyDeleteI feel like calling it a MM Console w/o a television in site defeats function here. Form is definitely different... and it looks VERY cool lit up.'
ReplyDeleteIt's like Vegas, ugly with the sun out, gorgeous when the night comes. =p
Dont look that bad, the idea ist great,
ReplyDeletebut maybe it looks better if there would be less mess around it, like the flowers in one of the boxes, and a wall behind it with only one colour...
why would anyone want that wallpaper to still be visible?
ReplyDeleteWow, people are really being jerks on here. No need to insult the guy! He's not forcing you to have it in your living room!
ReplyDeleteThis is the strangest thing Ive ever seen....
