Conference Table of sorts…

bustedToday the conference table model is finished (in chip board)!!!!  It looks kick ass!  I've taken pictures of it while I was putting it together, you'll see those in the end... The concept is very straight forward:   I envision that most conference tables are a central figure to a corporation (subliminally to most): usually kept in the infamous WAR ROOM the Pantheon of public/private decision making.  This table by its proportions, material and shear size conveys a message to all those who use it and see it, meant to be inclusive by nature or intimidating when occupied by a couple... It is a commanding piece of furniture, it has a life a reputation of its own and it is kept in sort of Arena of sorts.  Life changing decisions take place around this piece of furniture.  We can all remember making presentations on one, being hired, being fired, strategizing our next big move, a simple company lunch, a training session with all the company staff, or gathering us to host an in house movie...  The conference table is a mighty beast of furniture.  Its design must be well thought out because it speaks by its form alone. Materials, weight, shape, assembly, mass, curvature of its edges, wether you can touch it with your feet while sitting, its underside and if you can see across from it...

Yes, I'm thinking of all that, and then some... Wait till you see it...   23
