When Canfor sought an impressive feature conference table for their new offices in Vancouver, they turned to Union Wood Co for a solution that would blend dramatic form with functionality. The result was a stunning 35-foot-long wood conference table tailored to meet both aesthetic and practical needs.
Design and Personalization
We began the process with a visit to the client’s new office space and collaborative discussions with their design team. It was clear that the boardroom required a considerable centerpiece that would command attention and facilitate productive meetings.
Our Slant Conference Table, known for its substantial form and modern design, became the perfect foundation for this project. Normally we’d build this table in lengths from 6’ to 18’, and up to 4.5’ wide. However, for this project we tailored the design to meet the clients’ needs, resulting in a 35’ long and 5.5’ wide meeting table.
Since commercial spaces must have a certain percentage of ADA furniture, we adapted the table base’s original design to a more accommodating pedestal style. This modification allows for a greater overhang – over 19” – ensuring that individuals in wheelchairs can comfortably sit at the table, while meeting ADA compliance standards.
Functional and Accessible Design
Besides providing necessary accessibility, this extra long conference table also integrates advanced functionality. Each of the four pedestals is equipped with power units, ensuring that all meeting participants along the length of the table have easy access to electrical outlets for their devices. This integration of technology and design ensures that the table remains highly practical for modern business needs.
Thoughtful Construction and Delivery
Constructing a conference table of this scale requires careful planning around delivery. To facilitate delivery and installation in the office space, we built the table in manageable components that could be easily transported through elevators, doors, and hallways.
Once on-site, our skilled team assembled the table and completed a final inspection of the finished piece.
A Statement of Craftsmanship
The resulting Slant Conference Table is a striking centerpiece—not only in its length, but also in the expansive natural oak surface, which brings a welcoming warmth to the space.
The finished product is more than just a piece of furniture, it’s a great example of Union Wood Co dedication to craftsmanship, customization, and customer satisfaction. This project exemplifies our ability to blend form and function, creating unique pieces that meet the specific needs of our clients.
