Concept To Reality: Polished Process


Working with HLW in New York, WallGoldfinger brought to realization a sleek reception desk for a Manhattan investment firm. This involved several steps, the first of which had us developing some 3D color renderings for various options; simulating shapes, colors and textures, these enable the designer and client to get a sense of what the piece will look like in real life. WG uses the graphics program AutoDesk Maya to create these photo-realistic drawings.



Shown above are final renderings depicting the selected scheme. Based on these, Wall Goldfinger will move to the next step, the production of engineering drawings



WG uses Solidworks to produce working drawings. This system allows unprecedented flexibility in fine-tuning the design, moving elements, and incorporating designer changes stemming from the approval process. Exploded views are one feature of the program.


The completed desk measures 8'-3" wide x 4'-6" deep and employs a mix of non-directional stainless steel and "Black Absolute" granite. A black lacquer finish is used on all interior cabinetry.
