Edward Williams Furniture and Sam Kopsch Studio with Peldon Rose Workplace Consultants have used Glacier White Corian from CD UK to make a bespoke boat shaped reception desk for a Thames-side serviced office building in London.
With stunning views of HMS Belfast and Tower Bridge, the 1,810 sq ft reception area features suspended propellers and two acrylic wall-mounted, back-lit boat hulls.
Taking pride of place in in the double-height interior, the distinctive 10m by 3m desk used 30 sheets of Glacier White Corian, thermoformed by the Edward Williams team to create a seamless finish using their in house thermoformer.
Working drawings for the desk were created by the company's CAD team from the initial nautical design concept, inspired by ideas from the world's finest luxury yacht maker, Sunseeker.
The 68 000 sq/ft building offers 700 workstations in six floors of serviced offices, all with breathtaking views of the city. 15 meeting rooms with capacity for between four and 100 people have been designed to complement the maritime theme.
