Collaborate!

Another cool thing about our new space is the furniture it houses. We have seven bar-height collaboration tables we use for meeting, working, and gathering spaces all made here in Bremerton by Chris and Ryan Tincher. Chris is a general contractor and Ryan, a finish carpenter.
The tables are made from 2x2 ceiling furring salvaged from the building. The nail-hole discoloration comes from the furring strips having been nailed to the lath in their former life. Over years and a lot of moisture the discoloration adds to the history, texture, and beauty of the tables and, in turn, our space as a whole.
These collaboration tables, or boeufettes (buffets) as we like to call them, provide us a place to leave our desks and come together with fresh perspectives to an inviting space.
