Schemata - Flat Project



I really like Schemata's Flat Project - they have taken old elementary school desks and tables with all of their history and renewed them with poured epoxy tops. What I like most about the project is how subtle it is - from a distance the tables look like their old selves, but the closer you get you begin to realize that they have been modified. I also like that Schemata preserves the history of the tables with the translucent resin.

Note: We're taking Thursday and Friday off for Thanksgiving - we'll be back on Monday. Hope everyone who celebrates has a great long weekend!

  3. amazing! I have an old school desk, but the top was so destroyed I had to get a new piece of wood for it. Wish I'd been crafty enough to do this instead!
