Lou Dortsman

Lou Dorfsman’s typographic masterpiece. Together with
Herb Lubalin and Tom Carnase, Dorfsman created the largest
typographic monument in existence for a wall in the CBS cafeteria.

After many years of neglect, The Center for Design Study is
now working hard to restore this piece of American design history.

Lou Dorfsman masterfully designed the wall,
juxtaposing letterforms with three-dimensional sculptures to create an
experience for patrons of the CBS cafeteria. After creating the first
panel, Dorfsman enlisted his lifetime friend and colleague, Herb
Lubalin (1918-1981), to realize this vast dream. Together, Dorfsman and
Lubalin designed the remaining panels…

Nice design

Industrial dining table

        This industrial dining table is a design we have been perfecting over five years. The steel frame can be powder coated a colour of your choice from the RAL industrial paint range, or left with a raw steel look which shows the marks of the manufacturing process. Each table is entirerly bespoke and made to measure. You choose the size you require and we make the table. There are several options for the top surface. We have currently make this industrial dining table with either a solid aged oak parquet top or a burnt oak parquet top with the blocks laid in a herringbone pattern. These models are finished with a 10 mm oak band around the edges which frames the pattern beautifully. The burnt oak model is pictured at the bottom. The burning of the oak carbonises the wood and leaves a nice tactile finish to the grain , turning the wood completely black.

We also offer a wide range of colours in a hardwearing natural linoleum top , this is also edged with an oak band. The lino surface is extremely hardwearing and easy to clean and a nice natural alternative to wood. The first photograph shows a lino topped industrial dining table in pewter.

Another option is a solid oak plank top which can be gently coloured using a natural process to give the oak an aged feel.

We aim to make our industrial tables with minimal impact on the environment. All our industrial dining tables are made entirely by hand throughout the process. Our folded steel legs are made from left over sheet from the manufacturing of oil tanks and our wood is from sustainable European oak forests. All the processes involved in the making of our tables happen in and around Brighton which utilises the skills of local people and minimises transportation.

We have made many tables over the years and have provided this table for private individuals, architects and interior designers. Supplying tables for kitchens , restaurants, hotels , advertising agencies , production companies and retail environments.

Please click here to see our website .

Our tables work equally well in an work setting and can be altered to include cable management systems , they work j as a dining table or a desk. We are able to make a table with a maximum size of 3.2 m in length and a width of 1.2 m.

the 1950's. Beautifully rusted and aged. They would look
great in a garden.
