Design Services
From Concept to Fabrication-Ready Details
We work directly with our airport clients and their project teams—including design professionals, architects, and construction managers—to develop fabrication-ready designs for custom furniture and architectural millwork. Our team translates creative concepts into detailed shop drawings, material specifications, and production-ready designs that can actually be built as envisioned. Whether you need technical support for a custom piece or comprehensive space planning and material selection, we provide the expertise to move projects from concept to completion.
Custom Furniture & Millwork Design
We specialize in developing fabrication-ready designs for custom furniture and architectural millwork. From initial concept sketches to detailed shop drawings, our team ensures every piece can be built to specification while meeting aesthetic, functional, and budget requirements.
Our process includes conceptual design and 3D renderings, shop drawings and fabrication specifications, branded design details and coordination, and design documentation for multi-location consistency. Because our design team works directly with our fabrication shop, we can identify potential issues early and ensure designs are optimized for production.
Space Planning & Existing Conditions
We provide space planning services that maximize comfort, flow, and capacity while maintaining brand identity and operational efficiency. Our CAD-based planning and 3D modeling develops furniture layouts for renovations, reconfigurations, and new construction.
Our capabilities include developing optimized floorplans for high-traffic environments, 3D modeling and rendering for visualization, existing conditions surveys and as-built documentation, CAD drawing updates to reflect current site conditions, and compliance verification for accessibility and egress requirements.
Material & Upholstery Selection
Selecting the right materials and finishes requires balancing aesthetics, performance, durability, and budget. Our team provides technical guidance on material selection, working with leading manufacturers to specify options suitable for aviation, hospitality, and commercial applications.
We assist with curating finish palettes and upholstery options, evaluating performance, cleanability, and fire-safety compliance, providing updated specifications and documentation, and coordinating with procurement for availability and lead times.
Prototype Development
Our in-house fabrication capabilities allow us to build and test prototypes before full production. This process validates design intent, comfort, and durability, giving clients the opportunity to review and refine concepts before committing to final fabrication.
Prototype services include 3D modeling and rendering for initial visualization, full-scale mockups and material samples, ergonomic and durability testing, design refinement based on testing feedback, and coordination with fabrication teams for production approval.
Integrated Design-to-Fabrication
Having design and fabrication under one roof eliminates the miscommunication and delays that often occur when designers and fabricators work independently. Our integrated team ensures custom pieces are designed with fabrication realities in mind, reducing rework and keeping projects on schedule.
