Oak, sand, acrylic.
For Unity, designed by Helen Gogoleva, we built three pieces: the bar counter, an acrylic table at the entrance and a bench. The counter has a solid oak top under clear oil and a front with engraved slats in sand-textured paint. The table is glued up from thin acrylic sheets, rounded and polished until it reads as one solid piece; one leg is fixed to the wall, the other is a planter. This was our first project for Unity, in 2024. In 2026 they came back for a second, larger one — 32 pieces.
