Earlier this year, MGM designers came to us looking for some pieces to fill their restaurant. They used our designs and website as inspiration for the space, which was very flattering. Sim and I will be heading down there later this month to see the space in person and get some pictures. The restaurant opens in late September 2012 (Motorcity MGM Casino).
We ended up building several special I Beam bar height bases which have space for beer conduit running through the center up to the top. So partons will be able to serve themselves alcohol from the table top bar taps. And I Beams have a door so they can service the conduit in the interior.
They needed some storage and display too, so we built a couple Ellis sideboards with  308 shelving above. One of those will divide the private dining area from the restaurant and is wrapped in glass, with cutouts on the shelves for glass, LED lighting on top, and locking doors. It was a complicated piece that came out amazing. The pics don’t do it justice here.
They needed some seating to match, so we modified our Wright chair and added extra lumbar support for comfort.
Our client needed some architectural details to divide the space, so we built several of these custom lattice panels. The 14 panels contained a total of 4,500 rivets. It was a lot of work, but it was well worth it.
