Industrial furniture made from machinery - photos and video

Those protruding fastener heads look like they are there to make meeting attendees sit up straight and pay attention. Betcha the designer of this thing never swept a floor.

Or cleaned up spilled grape juice, au jus, or ink.
One company exists, based on that very issue. A hospital in Hollywood CA, as most all hospitals of the time, used bamboo trays for in-room meals. Stains were not always removable. A plastics engineer solved that with compression molded trays of fiberglass cloth and resin, even reinforced edges with encased wire.
Our older persons would recognize the trademark; a branch of Boston Fern molded under the resin sealed top. He worked in his garage.
Still privately owned, it's been the second largest supplier of catering plastics for decades.
The #1 spot? Only corporate monster Rubbermaid Inc was larger...

Jon is right. That combination is near abominable. I'd estimate 20' long and an easy 1200lbs. I'd venture the pic is actually a rendering, placed in the setting that looks like a food prep area. Certainly no board meeting would occur in such an area, and the wood-metal edge isn't NSF (National Sanitation Foundation) food safe either. Perfect example of staging to wannabe industrialists wish in establishing a down to earth facade, however shallow. Like a false-front saloon in an old western town.
I do like the size however, not the legs. I own the print layout table from the Long Beach Naval Shipyard. Solid oak, 2"x2"'s edge glued and through bolted a couple feet apart along it's entire 14' length and 5' width. Same as originally used, it will mount hinged against the wall in my inspection, calibration, and small repairs area. The legs 'deploy' when swung down from wall and latch with a pin. At the estimated 400lbs, it will stay down!
