From VT to NYC

Concrete Detail

We are nearly ready to ship out the latest concrete countertop project from our casting tables and one of our most ambitious yet: a total of five sections of 2″ thick pure white concrete, destined for an inhouse restaurant at ABC Home and Carpet, on Broadway in Manhattan. Two of these pieces weigh over 600 pounds and are 10 feet long. They will form the bartops in a newly renovated restaurant at this prestigious New York retailer of interior furnishings – everyone knows of ABC in the design world!  Now a bit (or a lot) of Vermont craftsmanship will help the shoppers to satisfy their hunger for excellent cuisine and the best in architectural concrete surfaces. The bar was designed by Eric Slayton of  Brooklyn (go to http://www.ericslayton.com/) who has his custom furniture pieces on the showroom floor there. His work in steel, concrete, and wood emphasizes the material surface in a clean, straightforward manner, honest and functional.
