how designs evolve with Mass C

A good architect client of ours has always used the flexibility of mass customization to suit her needs. We extended the Narrative Armchair into a settee for a contract job, and continue to sell this custom version to her and her clients. Recently she contacted us with a great opportunity, she loved The Truss Collection designed by Scott Klinker, but wanted to use it for indoor contract eating applications. Could we customize the A-Frame design into a Picnic table design with the bench seats attached? Of course we could, this is exactly what we want to do! Scott tackled the design with his usual balance of wit and sophistication, and the results are some of our favorite pieces to date. We did two versions, an adult and a kid’s version, and we’ll be adding them to our standard offerings in the future. This is a perfect example of how mass customization works to everyone’s benefit: the customer, the designer and the fabricator. The job shipped packed flat on pallets and the install team will be assembling them on site. This is nice and economical since shipping pre-assembled and blanket wrapped would have required a dedicated truck. I can’t wait for the in-situ photos. I’ll post them here as soon as we get them.

Happy Valentines Day!
