CONFLUENCE Design | Fabrication is a custom design & fabrication
studio utilizing emerging digital design & traditional fabrication
technologies. This collaborative design studio/shop approach integrates
three-dimensional digital modeling with manual and digital fabrication
methods to produce custom objects ranging from small scale furniture
prototypes, to museum exhibitions and large-scale architectural
interiors.
Founded in 2009, CONFLUENCE believes in a 21st century business
model, where social responsibility is executed through the economical
production of custom design, where environmental stewardship is
prioritized and achieved through the local sourcing of abundant
materials and a commitment to reducing waste, and where modernism and
abstraction are valued as a cultural expression of making. CONFLUENCE offers design, fabrication and installation
services, specializing in interior design, custom furniture, millwork,
exhibition, and installations.
Design: Working directly with clients or collaborating with
designers, CONFLUENCE has the knowledge, experience, and tools to work
across traditional disciplines. Sketching, three-dimensional modeling,
and orthographic drawing are fundamental to our design and problem
solving process. Our knowlegde of materials and fabrication processes
allow us to tightly manage resources and propose solutions tailored to a
project’s requirements with an understanding of the impact on budget
and schedule.
Fabrication: We perform carpentry, acrylic fabrication, painting and
finishing in house with a commitment to craft and beauty. It sounds
pretty basic, but our ability to precisely translate complex designs
into built forms sets us apart; combined with our ability to closely
coordinate with our vendors and subcontractors allows limitless
possibilities.
Installation: Whether we are performing the installation or
supervising it, we are commited to seeing our projects through to full
completion.
