Products in Brief: Roundup
Atlas Table Collection by Brad Ascalon
The mythical Greek Titan Atlas and the celestial sphere that he supported were the inspiration for designer Brad Ascalon's new table for Design Within Reach. The Atlas table collection features a solid North American walnut frame made in the U.S. and a thin circular slab of white marble, black marble, or travertine made in China. It measures 20” high and 21.5” in diameter.
Apex Litter & Recycling Receptacles
There is nothing trashy about the Apex litter and recycling receptacles from Forms+ Surfaces. Featuring corrosion-resistant aluminum with FSC-certified jatoba-hardwood slats, the units can be specified along with a coordinated bench-and-table ensemble for corporate, retail, university, or hospitality settings. Single-stream receptacles have a single 24-gallon liner; split-stream receptacles come with two 18-gallon liners.
Advocate AV-Series Lavatory System
After you wash your hands in a public bathroom, you typically give them a shake and then walk over to the hand dryer, where they drip water on the floor and down the wall. Eliminating this messy process is Advocate–the first lavatory unit designed to provide a sink, soap, faucet, and touchless hand dryer all in one unit. The system features a 0.38gpm faucet, high-efficiency hand dryer, and recycled, Greenguard-certified solid-surface material.
Vivid Palette Carpet Patterns
While developing six new patterns for the Vivid Palette tufted-broadloom collection, Shaw Hospitality Group challenged students at the Savannah College of Art and Design to create projects using natural dyed fibers. Techniques from the student work that inspired the collection included folding, stitching, and bundle dyeing with osage orange and black tea, dyeing with potato dextrin, and weaving with the Costa Rican cabuya fiber.
Escofet Cast-Stone Site Elements
Landscape Forms, based in Kalamazoo, Michigan, is now the sole representative of the Barcelona company Escofet in the United States and Canada. The Escofet Collection includes 14 cast-stone products: 10 benches, a bench-and-table group, two chairs, and a planter. Flor (shown) is a backless, flat, asterisk-shaped element that provides both social and solitary seating options.
