Work Table
Read

We designed a large ash wood work table to support the day-to-day activities in Designtex’s Chicago showroom. A generous Corian work surface provides ample room to work with textiles, while aluminum trays are used to store memos and other office materials. One end of the table was left open to accommodate large rolls of fabric, binders and other bulky items.
