STAND UP DESK – WALNUT & METAL – NEWMARKET

Background:

We approached this client to introduce Aether Creations and initiate a working relationship between our companies.

They approached us with their first project. Their client wants a stand-up desk designed & made for home office use and had a picture for inspiration that we took and modified based on budget requirement. We presented the basic desk design with options to be built in like a wired power source with USB charging capability. We are pleased to have earned the project and work is underway. This one is going to be exciting to see come together.
