Ryan Companies Conference
Table
This conference
table, made for the Ryan Companies, USA, is done in red oak
veneers to match other woodwork in the room. It measures 4'
wide x 10' long in a boat shape, and features an internal
connection running from one end of the table to the other,
playing off the curving external shape while the outer
portions of the field address the participants seated at
the table. The outer solid edge is of matching red oak. The
Ryan Companies logo is inlaid into each end using the same
veneer, but with the grain rotated 90 degrees from the
background flow giving it a luster contrast with the
background.
In this photograph, light came from the flash in the camera
giving a bright logo against a darker background. If the
light source had been from the side, the Ryan Companies
logo would have been dark against a bright field.
Completed in 1998, and located in the Ryan Companies
headquarters in downtown Minneapolis.
