Sterling Surfaces turned around my bias against solid surface materials
Sterling Surfaces made me see solid surface in a whole new light and they did it with this chair.
Solid floor is a category call for merchandise consisting of Corian, Hi-Macs, Avonite and lots of greater. Generically, strong surface substances are crafted from mineral powder bonded with acrylic or polyester to shape a dense and resilient cloth.
I met Sterling Surfaces remaining winter on Twitter (in which else?) and they've been blowing me away on a very consistent foundation. I've sat in these chairs in Grand Central Terminal on as a minimum two separate activities and I become amazed when I found out who made them.
You guessed it, Sterling Surfaces.
Sterling Surfaces hails from Sterling, Massachusetts but they work every where. I've seen high-quality fabricators before, but I've never seen anything like this:
After watching that video, I'm equipped to start specifying a few critical thermoforming.
You can find more information about solid surface, thermoforming and Sterling Surface's place in the world on their extensive website . In addition to their website, they maintain a large image library in their Flickr stream . You can find them on Facebook , YouTube and Twitter too.
These humans are not simplest notable at what they do, they get the entire social media factor and that's one extra element to love.
Sterling Surfaces' work has made me rethink an admittedly strong bias I have against solid surface. I know I'm not alone in that sentiment and I guess I get it from too many years in the trenches and seeing too many botched solid surface installations. There's no chance of that here though. Sterling Surfaces is rehabilitating an entire product category and for that they deserve an award. Actually, they get them all the time.
