Called SOLID Table designed by Greg Gehner, the owner of Transit Forge, a metalworking studio in northwestern Pennsylvania. The steel table has the advantage over the oak wood table as it is more portable and gives the same strength. These extra design features inbuilt to protect the table from the elements, these tables are usually a lot more expensive than a similar indoor models… The SOLID Table can be viewed at the NICHE Awards Display at the Buyers Market of American Craft, February 12-15th, 2010 in Philadelphia.
Greg says:
Often, I apply my aesthetic to a found or acquired piece of raw material to suit a function, in this case, furniture. The SOLID table started with the top, which was formed from a large piece of industrial c-channel steel reclaimed from a scrap yard. The focus of my design was mass and structural lines with an emphasis on connections.
