One of the happy accidents of this project occurred with the Vault Closing Room table. The original table the owner had and wanted to use in this space turned out to be too large for the door and was not able to be disassembled. While helping them to find a replacement, we proposed that our talented contractor’s finish carpenter build a table. It turned out nicely and was less expensive than a manufactured table. The design brought other elements into this room and was a simple, affordable, and elegant solution. The legs are interlocking maple plywood - one stained the same as the trim, the other showcasing the natural warm tones of the wood. They are positioned to allow for a person to pull a chair completely under the table and not hit their knees. The table was raised an extra three inches above a standard table to allow many different styles of armed chair. The aluminum channel in the center brings an element found in the other closing room lowered soffits to the space as an inversion of tones and materials between them. The pattern on the wall is to be installed later, it acts as a back-splash made from bank deposit box aluminum doors.
