Showcasing Artistic Flair: Bespoke Team Desk for Portland Design

In a recent collaboration with Portland Design, a renowned architectural firm based in London, we had the pleasure of designing and manufacturing a unique team desk area for their new headquarters in Holborn. This project aimed to reflect the firm's artistic flair and inspire collaborative working and brainstorming among their team members.Project OverviewPortland Design, known for its innovative approach to architecture, wanted a distinctive and functional centerpiece for their new office. They envisioned a desk that not only facilitated teamwork but also served as a testament to their creative prowess. Our team at Timber Foundry was tasked with turning this vision into reality, from initial concepts through to final installation.

Design and Development

The journey began with a series of meetings to understand Portland Design's specific needs and aesthetic preferences. Our team worked closely with them to develop initial concepts, which were refined into detailed CAD designs. The final design was a bespoke, 9-meter-long desk that required precision engineering and meticulous craftsmanship. Material and Construction: We chose 25mm Baltic Birch plywood for its durability and aesthetic appeal. By laminating the plywood together, we created a robust 50mm thick tabletop that exudes a solid and substantial feel. The desk's legs were crafted from 70x70mm box sections, which were then powder-coated to the client's specified RAL colour, ensuring a seamless blend with the office's interior design.
