Redwood gate

August 22, 2019 by Pivot

Fitting over 1,000 pieces of flat bar is no small task.  Take this and combine it with high finishes, gate hardware, and Dichroic glass and you have a unique project.  Shipped to Redwood City California, this is one of our favorite projects to date.

Tall door

August 21, 2019 by Pivot

We really had fun with this 20′ tall pivot door for a private residence. We used tube steel construction with steel sheet cladding. For finish we blackened the hot roll steel and did a light lacquer top coat. The client is hopeful that over time he’ll get some light flash rust to match the door with the corten colored tiles which clad the exterior of the home.

DMG bookshelf

July 18, 2018 by Pivot

Bookshelf with integrated lighting.

Bookshelf was created using 1/2″ steel round bar with the exception of the integrated light bars which illuminate the top and second shelf. All of the electrical components are hidden within the tubes and within a small custom junction box on the bottom of the lowest shelf.

Katz table 2

May 20, 2016 by Pivot

Another stainless table base for Scott Faulkner Design.  This one is made from 3/8″ stainless plate with a matte mill finish and polished edges.  We love the grain that comes out with stainless plate!  The top was made from solid 5/8″ oak by SFD.

Gunderson

May 20, 2016 by Pivot

We worked closely with Rapt studio to assist in designing this bi-folding moveable wall.  The hot roll steel selected was blackened then sealed with wax which is ideal for this space.  The natural corrosion resistance of hot rolled material is a perfect choice in a commercial space which may not get the regular maintenance required by cold rolled steel.  Opposed to other sealants wax does not scratch, is easily maintained and, has virtually no thickness which keeps the design crisp.  Our solid door core (and the wood for our pulls) was custom and sourced from  Scott Faulkner Design who did a wonderful job ensuring we had a straight, flat surface to work with.   Overall, each of the four door panels weighed in at around 500lbs and measured 5 feet wide by 9 feet tall.  Together they formed the impressive 9’x22′ moveable wall you see below.  Special thanks to Devin at Rapt for the photos.

This beautiful roastery on Capitol Hill in Seattle has a lot of exposed steel.  Pivot worked on site to beautify every nook and cranny of this exposed structural steel.  The pictures speak for themselves.

DMG

June 24, 2015 by Pivot

Resin for the DMG home.

This steel table was constructed with custom lugs as one might build a bicycle. The finish was created specifically for this client using various techniques which give the impression that this table had been long used, and loved. The beautiful top is made from translucent red resin.
