Menlo Furniture Designs, Inc. designs and manufactures elegant, premium-quality chairs. Using a strong, flexible, and patented technology developed by a Stanford University mechanical engineering professor, Menlo Furniture chairs combine the refined esthetic of wood with the nearly indestructible joinery of steel. The Milano Chair is made of premium hardwood domestic maple, walnut, or cherry, and is kiln-dried to 6-9 percent moisture content to ensure that it will not crack, warp, or split. The two-coat varnish finish is hand-rubbed to a beautiful and durable luster. The chairs are beautiful to look at and offer a unique synthesis of ergonomics, craftsmanship, and form. |

Expand design flexibility, extend diffused light, and enhance privacy with six new translucent wall systems from Duo-Gard. Each features multiwall polycarbonates in a choice of colors and aluminum framing finishes. Systems include a tongue-and-groove version for continuous glazing with no mullions. Sound control can be added. The glazing material is self-extinguishing, fire-rated CC1-Class A. It's easily curved, and backlit for dramatic versatility, demonstrated in this employee lounge screen designed by architect Derek Norton of Ritter Architects for the offices of Omnifics in Alexandria Virginia. |
