Bespoke Rock-Textured TV Unit | Open Metal-Framed Bookshelves

We completed a bespoke TV unit with a rough-rock relief backdrop, natural light-oak panels, open metal-framed bookshelves and a curved floating console. Concealed warm LEDs along the stone reveal and beneath the console, together with handleless push-to-open drawers, create an organic, sculptural and architectural focal point.

Our aim was to create a sculptural media wall by combining the raw tactility of natural rock with light oak surfaces and slender metal details. Open bookcase framing, a curved floating console and concealed cable routes bring a functional, visually open and organic contemporary character to the living space.

Design Decisions That Transform the Space

TV Unit with a Rough-Rock Texture, Natural Oak Panels and Open Metal-Framed Bookshelves

This sculptural media wall combines the raw, hewn texture of natural rock with warm timber and slender bronze metalwork. Deep-relief grey stone cladding forms the backdrop, layered with jointed natural oak panels. Open metal-framed bookshelves extend from floor to ceiling on the right, while a floating console has a softened curved left corner. Concealed warm vertical LEDs at 2700K–3000K emerge where stone meets timber, creating an organic, powerful architectural focal point.

Material and Colour Balance

Rough grey rock/hewn-stone relief cladding with a natural split-face effect forms a vertical reveal behind the TV and bookcase.
Modular natural light-oak veneer panels with fine horizontal and vertical joints cover the main wall.
Floor-to-ceiling open display shelving on the right combines slim bronze/anthracite tubular framing with rounded solid-oak shelves.
A natural oak-veneered floating console curves softly around its left edge, with the stone texture continuing underneath.
Concealed warm linear LED profiles at 2700K–3000K trace the vertical separation between timber panels and stone and the console’s lower base line.
Large light-beige floor tiles, an earthy textured rug, a substantial rounded solid-oak coffee table and sculptural ceramic objects complete the organic contemporary palette.

Architectural Composition and Spatial Hierarchy

Layered relief and contrasting textures: openings between smooth timber panels expose the rough stone behind, creating a natural reveal and sculptural depth.
A light, open bookcase: slender metal uprights and shelves seemingly suspended in front of the stone replace bulky cabinets, preserving spatial depth.
Curved corner details: rounded console and shelf edges soften the stone’s rugged character and support flowing circulation.

Technical and Functional Details

Concealed structural anchoring: the floating console and metal bookcase uprights are secured with concealed flanges to reinforced steel framing in the ceiling, floor and rear wall.
Cable and service channel: TV, audio and electrical lines pass through the framing void behind the timber directly to outlets and ventilation openings inside the console.
Concealed push-to-open runners: soft-close, full-extension concealed runners and push-to-open fittings maintain the simplicity of the timber drawer fronts.

Project Notes
  • A rough-rock/hewn-stone relief panel creates a vertical band behind the TV and bookshelves.
  • Modular natural light-oak veneer wall panels incorporate fine horizontal and vertical joints.
  • Floor-to-ceiling open display bookshelves on the right combine slim bronze/anthracite metal framing with curved oak shelves.
  • A natural oak floating console has a softly radiused left edge, with the stone texture continuing beneath it.
  • Concealed warm linear LEDs at 2700K–3000K illuminate the vertical timber–stone reveal and console base.
  • A technical service channel behind the timber panels conceals TV, audio and power connections.
  • Handleless push-to-open fittings and concealed soft-close runners preserve the simplicity of the console drawers.
