Pliskin Arhitects, NYC USA
For a project of Pliskin Architecture NYC, Focused constructed two customized table-tops. The tables where placed in the pantry of a global headquarters of a large tech company in New York City. The showpiece is the long parsons table with a side panel. The lines of the top of this table continue into the side panel, resulting in a colorful waterfall. With its over 3,8 meters long lenght, this table is the largest table that has ever been constructed from recycled skateboards. Together with the matching smaller banquette table it forms a unique piece in the center of the new community on the floor. A total number of 110 worn-out skateboard decks have been recycled into these two pieces. More information about the Pliskin Architecture NYC project can be found on their website.
