Kelly and Brad are awesome. Its flattering enough that they are repeat customers of mine but when Kelly gave me the green light to have creative control on a work station table for her, that really meant a lot.

Kelly teaches special needs children in her home. She needed a sensible, durable table for her study sessions with one request…that it have frosted glass so her students could use it as a dry erase board. Well…that and it needed to look completely awesome and fit into their killer new home as well.

I have had this design in my head for quite some time and Im really happy that I was able to make it a reality. If anyone knows me, they know that I love wood and steel together. This table is obviously no exception. I laminated pine to make the legs, the sandwiched them between some 0.25″ thick steel flat bar. The horizontal bracing is 1 x 1.5″ that was pickled and oiled, removing any mill-scale. The result is that the actual steel (silver color) is visible rather than the dark, gray mill-scale on the legs. This makes for a great contrast and brings out the counter sunk wood screws and makes for a perfect combination when paired with the dark honey stain color. Add in the frosted glass top and YOWSA! The Tate Work Station. …This thing is sweeeeeeet!

I am offering this piece as a catalog item. Available in 48″ x 48″ x 30″ high for $1650. Custom sizes are avail as well. Please call to discuss.
