Icon Wall System
- Designed by: Ali Tayar
- Made by: Lerival
- More Info: lerival.com

One or more covers a process that includes laser cutting, precision bends (made using tools more common in military and automotive work), and finishing while another handles the final assembly. Each box in the system takes a little over an hour to complete, which means the southern New Jersey factory can make just six per day.
