While you may be used to seeing lots of white glass and polished stainless steel like we are, recently dark woods, light marble and a bit of bronze have been prominent features in some WallGoldfinger projects. Here we describe two that share these characteristics but are far from alike.
Recently a series of tables and credenzas left the factory as part of one of the biggest orders in our company's history. Among that furniture designed by Gensler were two large boardroom tables.
The 27- and 30-foot-long tables of varying shapes featured Calacatta Gold polished marble center fields, walnut veneer tops and bases, and both a tabletop bronze inlay band and bronze edge inlay. The tabletop bronze inlay band surrounded technology, including microphones and bronze hatch lids accessing power/data boxes.
A second project recently completed in the factory has similar materials.
WallGoldfinger just completed large secretarial stations each measuring 20 feet in length. They feature Calacatta Vagli polished marble, ribbon stripe sapele veneer stained dark, solid mahogany and statuary bronze. Interior sections of the workstations include white plastic laminate countertops, panels and a printer counter as well as fabric wrapped tack panels.
These complex workstations designed by Keiser Associates stand out in part because the stone is waterfalled, meaning a single slab has been cut and a miter joint created to maintain the natural pattern in the stone from the top counter sections down the front of the desks. The workstations also layer materials; the stone is on panels that are clad in bronze, and then set over beautiful, dark veneer panels.
If marble and bronze aren't your thing, no worries. We have plenty of other projects taking place now that feature that ever-popular white glass and even have some very traditional veneer projects in the works (the likes of which we haven't done in years and will enjoy tackling again). We look forward to sharing these diverse projects that are as unique as their designers' visions with you in future editions.
