2009-09-23T21:48:00.000-07:00

Gizmodo Gallery 2009 becomes the place to be as people take a seat on our [cubes] and just kick it.

Night and Day!

2009-09-23T20:41:00.000-07:00

Traffic throughout the day and into the night makes for a very exciting and eventful place to be.

The Giz Desks work to perfection. First day they were assembled they were put to use even before opening day.

Half Full or Half empty?

2009-09-19T23:17:00.000-07:00

The Giz Gadget Wall is half way done. A little aircraft cable here, some there.... and we got ourselves a 90 ft wall full of pixilated display cases.

8ft. long Coffee Table?!

2009-09-19T17:09:00.000-07:00

Oh yeah, GO BIG or GO HOME! This layered [1x4] is designed for one of the biggest televisions in the world. The 103” Plasma T.V. will accompany the 8 footer in the Upcycle Lounge in a few days.

[flats] just want to be [cubes]

2009-09-18T19:05:00.000-07:00

Palletized, tied down, shrink wrapped and ready to SHIP OUT. See ya in NY….

TETRIS

2009-09-17T22:14:00.000-07:00

Designing modular furniture also gives us an added bonus... compact shipping. Each piece of furniture fits inside itself to minimize volume during shipment. 4 palletes = 50 pieces of furniture, "Brilliant!"

Leftovers

2009-09-17T21:34:00.000-07:00

We took the leftovers and built 10 more pieces furniture. Stack 'em high and watch them fly.

Sandin' the night away.

2009-09-02T23:40:00.000-07:00

Sandin' away at the rings. Hundreds of rings = 40 some units creating a display wall full of gadgets and gizmos.

YES all of it!

2009-08-30T00:29:00.001-07:00

Hmmm...Which will it be?

2009-08-30T00:15:00.000-07:00

We're thinking the one to the right... Hmmm... Maybe the left too.
