Our Range
Our range has been developed to provide proven products that are available off-the-shelf for quick shipping while still offering the flexibility of tailored solutions.
The range includes AV podium lecterns, lectern desks, multimedia lecterns, wheelchair accessible lecterns, touchdown points, AV furniture and AV furniture accessories.
Configurable AV/IT integration, optional branding, custom timber and paint finishes, and a wide range of accessories allow each product to be tailored to specific technical, functional and aesthetic requirements.
Where a standard product isn’t the right fit, our in-house design team can modify an existing design or develop a completely customised solution.
Our Design Principles
Every feature should have a purpose.
Whether improving AV integration, simplifying installation and servicing, enhancing presenter usability or accommodating future technology, every design decision is intended to solve a genuine problem.
This disciplined approach has allowed us to continually refine the Podion range, giving customers confidence that every feature has been carefully considered and every product has evolved for a reason.
How We Develop Our Products
We work closely with universities, AV companies, consultants, architects and end users to understand the technical, functional and practical requirements of AV furniture.
Our in-house design team evaluates that feedback alongside changing AV technology, installation methods and presentation requirements to refine existing products and develop new ones.
Every improvement is carefully considered before becoming part of the Podion range, ensuring each product continues to deliver practical benefits throughout its entire service life.
Working with Podion
Whether you’re purchasing a single lectern, configuring an existing product or planning a multi-site rollout, our team can support every stage of the process.
We provide product configuration, custom design, 3D renders, concept visuals and prototype development, allowing finishes, branding, equipment layouts and product modifications to be reviewed before manufacturing begins.
With design and manufacturing managed in-house, we can efficiently move from concept to production while maintaining quality, accuracy and design intent throughout the process.
What our Customers Say
University of Melbourne
My name is Peter Nanscawen and I am a Capital Works Project Manager at University of Melbourne (UoM), responsible for the capital and infrastructure upgrades in teaching spaces at UoM, the number one ranked university in Australia.
Three years ago, I was delegated to be part of a working group assembled to review teaching delivery points at the university. As our research evolved, we made enquiries with Podion and a developmental relationship was formed.
Podion proved to be excellent listeners with a brilliant capacity to fabricate a conceptual design. The service is very attentive and the ability to deliver on time, as well as to urgency time constraints, has proved invaluable in every instance.
The workmanship is the quality of luxury standards. As such, the Podion iterations of the UoM design have become the standard recommended in the UoM Design Guidelines and we are yet to find a supplier of comparable standard to compete with the Lectern Hub product.
We have installed approximately 35 new units to shared teaching spaces over the past 3 years.
I have been extremely pleased with all our dealings with LPodion, from initial concept design to multi- unit delivered, and particularly proud of the product, being both aesthetically pleasing and functionally compliant.
I am happy to discuss any aspect of out relationship with prospective clients and will gladly field any enquiry to discuss the details.
