To Be Done Studios contacted us to bring part of their vision to life, creating a collection of furniture that is functional for the NRDC Chicago office while celebrating the beauty and vibrancy of the Chicago river.

The pieces, inspired by the founder's passion for the city's waterways, feature bold colors and dynamic shapes that enliven the office space and promote an inviting sense of energy and creativity.

We used large slabs of walnut to create one of the focal points of the office which was bench seating that reflected the shape of the Chicago River confluence. We also built seating through out the office space using ash wood and orange Forbo furniture linoleum to add to the energy of the space.
