Stage 1 of the 'Hot Sharp Toxic' room. This swiveling desk is the first stage of a larger project to turn a room in a private residence into a splendid mad science lair. More pictures here and on Flickr.

Check out our build video, where we show off the process we used to make these fantastically inlayed desks!

Client: Private Residence, San Mateo, CA
Mission: Design & fabrication for two young brothers. We collaborated with the boys to make the desk they wanted for this space.
Services: Design & fabrication of desks and shelving.

A pair of brothers share this play room. As they get older, the play room requires a pair of desks. That is where we come in.... Meeting with the boys, we discussed what their perfect desk would look like, and then we made them. A desk for one side of the room, that cantilevers off the wall: And a desk for the other side with post legs: The edges made of layered, high end Europly (a sustainably harvested, no-formaldehyde added wood) There are secret compartments in the desks, of course we cannot tell you where. And more elements will be added to this room. So more on this one soon!
