Orchestrating People with Technology...

PIANO is a computer conference table that has a powerful effect on people. The shape not only projects a progressive image, it influences group dynamics. The arrangement empowers the presenter and seats all to promote non-confrontational, collaborative body language. The experience is positive for everyone. It is amazing to see how freely communication between people flows when the tone for the meeting is at a high level and each has a comfort zone to contribute.

This computer conference table is dressed for the board room! Under the leather blotters, the patented flipIT® enables users to rotate LCD flat panel monitors from under the table top to the ideal ergonomic position, yet have the use of a clear top surface when computers are not needed.

PIANO lid

The PIANO lid is raised to full-stick with pneumatic assist for ease of access to wire management and equipment in the center well. When the table is in use, the wire access lid serves as the ideal platform for projector, document camera and other equipment. Extremely laptop friendly, too!

The wedge shape
and the low profile of the semi-recessed LCD displays insure that everyone seated maintains an unobstructed line-of-sight to each other and to screened presentations. Its proportions allow it to fit most existing conference rooms.

More Notes:


CPU storage can be a beautiful melody.
1. A low-profile roll-out console is available to house CPU cases. Leaves plenty of leg room under the table and provides equipment security. The console fits under the table or (with added top) may be set up anywhere in the room. Or...
2. A tall CPU cabinet can reside anywhere in the space leaving the area all around and under the table clear and the equipment secure and accessible. CPUs can even be placed in a nearby closet or located hundreds of feet away.
3. Place the CPU cases in the PIANO's center well. Ultra small form factor CPUs are available in all operating systems at an affordable cost.
4.Computer Cable Connection Boxes let you connect conveniently from the top, or raise the lid for direct access to components.

fflipIT DUO multi-Monitor System

Using multiple monitors is an inexpensive way of improving computer usage for power users. Multi-monitor setups increase the display area for viewing documents and lets tool palettes have a screen of their own. Improves efficiency and reduces eye strain and fatigue.

Dual monitor support is now widely supported on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and on the X Window System. Since computers with dual core CPUs are getting more popular, high-end computer users no longer feel limited to two monitors driven by a single main graphics adapter. Join the club!
