RTKL

Los Angeles, CA

When RTKL was designing their new Los Angeles office, dTank was the ideal choice. Our firsthand knowledge of what A&D firms need to enhance their workflow and productivity, as well as our custom manufacturing expertise, made us the best candidate for the job. RTKL’s design brief was to create an environment that was functional, that reflected the business of “creativity,” andthat integrated the RTKL “red.” dTank’s custom furniture delivered on all points.

BARNES MORRIS

Barnes Morris Klein Mark Yorn Barnes & Levine, an entertainment law firm with highly visible clients, was looking for furniture design to reflect the firm’s reputation for cutting-edge innovation in transactional legal counsel.

The defining design elements of the open office are the custom paralegal workstations in stained, quarter-cut walnut veneer featuring folded metal modesty panels in 1/4" powder-coated steel plate that double as magnetic surfaces. Made in pairs, the low-iron glass divider side panel offers privacy without sacrificing the openness of the overall office design. The opposite panel has a tackable surface made of industrial felt.

OVERSEE.NET

Los Angeles, CA

Oversee.net® is the Leader in Internet Real Estate™, known for forward-thinking online marketing. Corporate branding and functionality were the key drivers in this project. Wanting to break from the traditional workstations, the company’s creative department came up with a nautilus spiral shape with work surfaces on both sides of the curved spine panel.

After considering custom fabricated steel or translucent resin, steam-bent plywood panels were chosen–providing the warmth of wood and structural integrity to the reconfigurable workstations.
