AKA has partnered with some of the world’s largest broadcasters, designing and supplying modern, stylish broadcast furniture that seamlessly integrates with the latest technology. Our broadcast furniture ranges are tailored to support complex workflows, with options including sit-stand desks to promote ergonomics and comfort during long operational hours. Our in-depth understanding of ergonomics, equipment layout, and studio workflow has enabled us to deliver some of the most prestigious installations in recent years. Notably, at BBC Broadcasting House, we completed four large broadcast galleries as well as over 70 desks spanning editing, news, graphics, and weather departments, all carefully designed to optimise accessibility, sightlines, and operational efficiency.
Each piece of furniture is crafted to combine functionality, durability, and aesthetic quality, accommodating multiple control surfaces, monitoring setups, and integrated cabling while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. Whether for complex live broadcast environments, multi-user editing suites, or specialised graphics and weather desks, AKA ensures that every installation enhances productivity, comfort, and the overall studio experience. Our bespoke approach allows us to create a consistent design language throughout the facility, reflecting both the broadcaster’s brand identity and the technical demands of modern production.
