Before training as a cabinetmaker, Mark Gabbertas spent eight years in advertising, an experience that helped shape his audience-driven approach to his craft. "The design of an object is heavily influenced by an appreciation of the commercial realities that surround it," he says. "If a great-looking design does not sell, perhaps it is not such a great design." His Scoop Collection (2007), with its flowing, minimalist shapes, has all the elements of great design. Unique to Scoop is the herringbone pattern that's integrated into the organic, circular flow of each shape, woven from Textilene® vinyl. Brushed stainless-steel accents and a ceramic tabletop further the material interest. Scoop is suitable for residential, hospitality and contract use. Made in China. DWR Exclusive Materials Powder-coated aluminum frame wrapped with polyethylene wicker; stainless-steel accents; ceramic tabletop.
