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.

Walnut Conference Table for GBD Architects
We worked with local GBD Architectural Firm to create a custom walnut conference table for their office renovation in the heart of the Pearl District.
The standing height conference table was intended to streamline workflow and provide a gathering place for their talented team of architects. This 10-foot table features over-sized finger joints.
Scroll through these photos to see the final product and behind the scenes.
This is the planed solid wood surface before assembly and finish.
The conference table pairs well with the Compass Stool.

The Good Mod Team has installed and is excited to see the table in use. Stay posted!
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!
