Great day at work.

Ok, I am so geeked. I just got photos back from a monster job that I did. I helped design this furniture. I have never been so proud of anything I have done as I am of how well this stuff turned out.

Here is a photo of the reception desk. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/bobthegoat/MillbankReception.jpg)

Here is a photo of the Credenza. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/bobthegoat/MillbankCredenza.jpg)

Here is a photo of the credenza, with a corner of the table. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/bobthegoat/MillbankCredenzaandtablecorner.jpg)

Here is a photo of one of the tables. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/bobthegoat/Millbanktable2.jpg)

Here is my favorite photo, one of one of the tables. (http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a216/bobthegoat/Millbanktable1.jpg)

The tables all have a marble top, a 4” maple edge, and a 18” wide Maple center, with flip tops concealing power, phone, and data jacks. The bases (you can’t see) are 30” square maple columns.

The Reception desk has a raised Marble transaction top, high gloss wood beneath it, there is a secondary worksurface that does not show up (because it is a little lower), the front squares are glass panels. To give you an idea of scale, the width of the desk across the front is 12 feet, and its 9 feet deep.

The Credenza is 96” long, marble top, glass door fronts, and all suspended on what I called my “Japanese sandal feet”.

They ordered 1 reception desk ($48,000), 9 credenzas ($18,000 each), and 19 tables (ranging from $55,000 for the 10’ version up to $102,000 for the 36’ version).

Something about a 1.8 million dollar job going off without a hitch just makes me happy.

(not to steal the thunder from the other thread, but…the person below me wonders why I only got a crappy 3% raise this year)

Yes I do, you designed those? sweet!

The reception desk kind of reminds me of the entrance to inotech, from the movie Office space. hehe I like all of them though.

Those are so nice! I'd be so proud as well! :) You deserved a much much better raise!

[Soria]

Great stuff!


So you design funitre for a living? Neat.

Ya wow only 3 percent? That doesn't seem right at all, oh well. Good job.

Bob, I've got a question for you. Recently I went for a job interview at a company in South Bend, Indiana. I couldn't help but look at the furniture and think that you, or your company has designed them. Abonmarche is the company, they have offices in Michigan as well.

Could be, the name doesn't ring a bell.

Hmm ok, just wasn't sure. The table looks like your company had designed it. Was just wondering.
