'Buying CNC shaped panels should be as easy as buying a Pizza' are the encouraging words from the website of The Cutting Room, the Huntingdon based CNC routing firm who manufactured and constructed this stomping Reception desk. The sinuously sublime design is by Amr Assid at the very productive Buckley Gray Yeoman Architects for the iconic brand of Fred Perrys reception area in London. The Cutting Room are very proud of their work and quite modest about their acheivments, to us they have an obvious skill .There is definitely more to this than just mere operating and assemblage.
70 no. 10'x4' sheets of 3/4" (18mm) birch plywood - resulting in 2.5 tonnes of weight.
We have included the architects concept sketch and his 3D drawing to emphasise how from a seed of an idea it developed into this fully formed monster of a desk snaking down from the stairs and roaring out from the laurel motif to the street beyond. We hope to see more from these architects, manufactures and method of build.
