Made in New York: Custom Table Design Project

For my elective class, called Made in New York we went to different boroughs of new york city and visited manufacturers in them. The final project was to create a custom table design using some of the manufacturers in NYC. We were asked to call and email them to get an estimated price of building the table.

Below are my four thumbnail sketches:

 

I decided to create a promotional table for the University Center of our University. This table will be used by companies that come to promote their brands at our uni. This table will be made out of sustainable or recyclable materials. The company sitting on the table will change every day. This will be a flat rectangular table with rolling wheels. The table is called I-promote as its main function is to promote companies sitting on it.

Materials:

For the top and the front slab, the table will be made out of icestone from Icestone company in Brooklyn. This material is made out of recycled glass and cement. This will be pearl grey in color. The rest of the table will be made out of Rustic Oak wood-pumice and will be from Harden furniture. There will be glass case for keeping pens, pamphlets, and goodies and this will be made out of the sustainable glass from 3 form glass. The rolling casters will be from coolcasters.com. The rolling table will be of use as it can be moved to any part of the university center and is not restricted to one place.

The inside of the table will be built of a wooden frame:

Below are the measurements of the table:

The table will be 78 in x 36 in x 36 in.
