We try to take our job very seriously and that’s why our success rate is usually higher ( at least we like to think so ) compeering to other Toronto custom millwork shops and furniture design firms, witch results into even more customers and even more work load. Solid planing and work, process awareness of the whole team it the only way to ensure you are getting the high quality product for good value in short time without struggle. That’s why we like keep improving our planing every day. Furniture design and custom millwork manufacturing process on large, production scale is a whole different story and it can be a very challenging task. Different work sources, large management staff, different work-pipelines, a lot of tasks and variable management approachers. We would like you to understand what we do at least in general, so you can get better understanding what we do and why we do it, the way we do it. Here and above you can see a general custom millwork work pipe-line of process and tasks we go through every time to make sure you are getting what you payed for. Usually there are about 10 to 20 projects being run at the same time and every project can be in a different stage at given point. To ensure quality and a fast turn around of your project we have to be on track every day. You can see how complex can our work become in order to make sure yours is coming out on time and you are happy with it.

Russian Baltic birch Plywood is one of my most favorite materials. Pure, affordable, Eco friendly, easy to work with and very urban looking. Most of my jobs evolve around plywood these days and price point of products made of plywood is just great. Challenge here was to create a CNC machinable, affordable and cool looking enough plywood chair, to grab attention of anyone who is interested in contemporary furnishing. Flat packaged, easy to use, simplistic 3 leg plywood chair requires minimal hardware and just few minutes to assemble. I like Baltic birch plywood just raw with no chemical finishing but it can be easily lacquerer finished or stained / color matched fairly easily by anyone.

Coming from commercial, custom mill-work field, always give our designs more realistic and up to scale appeal and this conceptual reception desk for Toronto client is no exception.

the challenge here was to accommodate comfortably two people behind the desk and make it look modern enough within the given budget and functional at the same time.

the high contrast of black and white high gloss finishing materials in this rendering, with combination of chrome posts, supporting the whole upper part of this reception desk should bring enough attention to this peace and appropriately represent its company.

Last week I was in touch with Toronto interior designer Laura Hay. She was in need of a custom 7ft free standing dry bar for one of her interior design projects. Dry bars are not a very common furniture item. These bars are different from wet bars because they do not have sink with running water and can be placed anywhere because of the lack of need for this access. Laura’s material choice for this furniture piece was somewhat unusual from the beginning I thought but once I put her sketches into a 3-D view the combination of the back-lit onyx stone countertop, the chrome foot rail, the leather upholstery and dark-wood  worked to create a very striking and original piece that I’m happy to share with you. Please visit Laura’s website for more of her home design projects.

Another low budget, custom reception desks done for a Remax office in Toronto. The challenge was to build an octagonal shaped desk around existing column. Face partition of the reception desk was fabricated with 3/4 veneered particle board, trimmed with brushed nickel spits of metal and back was finished with black melamine for better maintenance purposes. 2 laminated counter top surfaces one lower for stuff with filing cabinets under and one higher for customers. Desk was build by JDMcNicoll Interiors ]]> http://www.etobic.com/custom-reception-desk-toronto/feed 3 http://www.etobic.com/store-fixtures-toronto-optical-store http://www.etobic.com/store-fixtures-toronto-optical-store#comments Sat, 27 Mar 2010 03:12:28 +0000 Martin Pitonak http://www.etobic.com/?p=1584 Very affordable and quick, low budged store fixture design done for a Toronto retail store selling optical products. The project was sitting in my files for more than a year after the store and millwork was finished by JDMcNicoll Interiors, so I decided to render it and share it with you. Nine, diamond shaped, mirror store fixtures with operable doors and storage shaving under the counter, combined with glass shelving displays in between each mirror store fixture unit makes it an enormous storage and display place. Reception desk with high and low counter tops and tone of drawers for storage.

Slat wall in the back and glass display island in the middle of the store makes it a place for a very large quantity stock of selling items.
