Centrl Office Reception Desk
Centrl Office, a co-working space, commissioned The Good Mod to design and fabricate their 35 foot cantilevered steel and black glulam reception desk. This desk resides in their office in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The desk offers stool seating or cushion-seating, as seen in the second photo.
Centrl Office came to us with a challenging project to design and fabricate a 35 foot cantilevered steel and black glulam reception desk. The reception desk had to serve three purposes: a place for reception, a place for refreshments such as beer and kombucha on tap, and counter space for people to work. This desk resides in their office in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles.
We used Glulam beams because they are stronger than steel- fun fact! It took all departments in our business to bring this idea to life - including metal working, fabrication, and design.

Danner Boots The Portland Select: The Good Mod Feature
Danner has crafted boots with care for nearly a century. Their boots are built to last - much like The Good Mod's studio line. While TGM does have vintage items in store, custom and made-to-order pieces are also part of our portfolio. Spencer Staley, founder of TGM, was featured in Danner's "Portland Select" series along side one of our old friends, Britt Howard, founder of Portland Garment Factory.

Collaboration with Columbia City Bouquet
When we were approached by Emily Kopca, co owner of the awesome floral design shop Columbia City Bouquet, stationed in Seattle, we knew the collaboration was going to a be a bright and beautiful one.
Their new space is their second shop, South Lake Union Bouquet situated in the ground level of the Amazon headquarters in Seattle.
The goal: to outfit their new space with beautiful but minimal designs that will be good for staging, storage, and most importantly showcasing their floral arrangements and plants!
What was needed: custom shelving in the form of open faced credenzas, stackable shelves, mounted shelves, benches and tables. With their vision in mind, we were up to the task of bringing it to life. Check out some of the items they purchased here:
See some photos below of their space!
So! When you are up in Seattle, make sure to stop by Columbia City Bouquet's beautiful new shop, located on 7th Ave South Union Lake Bouquet and treat yourself or your loved one to something beautiful!

Custom TGM B-Ball Hoops for The Trailblazers Coach Terry Stotts
The Story Behind the Hoop: Celebrating 300th Wins for Coach Stotts with Custom B-Ball Hoops from our TGM Studioline
It was a fateful day when Bimma came into the showroom to discuss hosting an event, I knew our encounter was the catalyst for future collaborations and connections. Bimma is a Global Product Manager at Adidas, as well as founder of Claima Convos (an interview series featuring underrepresented entrepreneurs in PDX).
Above: Bimma (@iambimma), second in from the left, alongside Kait Hurley (@kait.hurley), Laura Elizabeth (@laura_elizabeth) and Drae Slapz (@thedraeslapz) photographed their promo photos in our space!
A few weeks after our initial introduction, Bimma had the insight to connect us with Todd Adams, the brand development manager for the Trailblazers. What an exciting connection! This was shortly after we had released our customizable TGM B-Ball Hoops.
We were made aware of the upcoming milestone victory for longtime standing successful Coach Stotts. His 300th Win with the Trailblazers.
January 18th we fabricated three Custom Basketball hoops for Terry Stotts, head coach, Neil Oshey, executive and manager for the team, and executive Harry Glickman.
We had the privilege of making these custom mini basketball hoops that now hang proudly in their respective offices.
See below for the art, renderings, and final product.
These hoops are done in black walnut, with a black powdercoated rim, and black net. Custom art work and engraving available.

A touch of TGM in the Pope Mobile
Custom projects at The Good Mod come in all shapes and sizes, from multiples to one-off projects of custom routing, engraving, and other 3D modeling and rendering. We recently helped Kendall Mingey of Cupolette realize the walnut base for the Portland Rose Reliquary, which traveled with Mayor Charlie Hales and First Lady Nancy Hales to Rome for a two-day summit on cities and climate change hosted by the Vatican, and was gifted to Pope Francis. We hear it even rode in the Pope Mobile!
The hand-crafted bronze rose on a walnut base, acts as a reliquary, which has a small compartment in the bud at the center, in which several seeds from Portland’s white roses were placed. The engraving reads: “From Portland, the City of Roses, for His Holiness, Pope Francis, 2015.”
