It is a modular system that allows modifications of its geometry and even play with the volumes on the display plane. Its shallow depth has allowed us to integrate it into the architecture of an area as representative as the reception of our offices", clarifies Bonacho Camps.

There is no doubt that the total resolution obtained is impressive.. It allows us to have the brightness almost to the minimum increasing the durability of the system. And the truth is that the feedback we are receiving from our staff and visitors is excellent for quality., aesthetics and flexibility", clarifies Bonacho Camps.
