Leica & USM: Furniture Hides Your Home Theater

Leica's Cine 1 projector, available in 100in and 120in variants, now boasts an elegant integration solution thanks to a collaboration with Swiss furniture manufacturer USM. Their newly designed multimedia units, built upon USM's modular Haller system, allow for effortless concealment of both the projector and its screen within a stylish sideboard. This innovative furniture transforms an ordinary living space into a sophisticated home cinema with a simple button press.

The USM Haller system, known for its reconfigurable design and absence of screws, uses powder-coated steel panels in 14 classic colors, making it ideal for hiding cables and adapting to various spatial needs. Users can customize the height and layout, incorporating doors, shelves, drawers, and open units as required. While Leica sells the projector, USM handles furniture co-ordination and installation, which can be completed in as little as 30 minutes.

Beyond this specific collaboration, the article also touches upon other innovative home entertainment solutions. These include Marshall's aesthetically pleasing soundbars and subwoofers, a compact and versatile ultra-short throw projector with impressive clarity, a colossal single-panel TV from HiSense featuring advanced mini-LED technology and integrated Devialet subwoofers, and Sony's native 4K laser projector designed for cinematic immersion with advanced image processing.
