Icon Modern’s custom tables offer designers the creative freedom to step outside the “standard” bounds and design a table that meets their exact specifications. From conference and boardroom tables to collaboration and side tables, our versatile materials offer endless possibilities for workplace environments. Icon Modern’s materials are all sourced locally within a 100-mile radius of their showroom, not only reducing our carbon footprint but also supporting local businesses. Each table is handcrafted in Chicago, IL and can come in any shape and size. Materials include sustainable urban wood, stone, concrete, steel, veneer, solid surface and glass. Add-ons include casters for easy mobility and power/data.
- The origins of Icon Modern lie in the creative reuse of materials: diverting urban trees from landfills and handcrafting them into unique pieces of furniture.
- Furniture with a story and a mission.
- Icon Modern believes each tree has a story to tell, with its own unique characteristics and history. All of this is reflected in each urban wood table made and why people are so drawn to them.
- Their urban wood and hot rolled steel can help contribute to LEED and WELL certifications for commercial spaces.
Urban hardwood can contribute to WELL by way of the Living Building Challenge 3.0.
WELL V1 Mind Feature 88 – Biophilia I – Qualitative
(Nature Incorporation; Pattern Incorporation; Nature Interaction)
The intent of this credit is to increase the occupant’s connection to the natural environment. By using urban hardwood we are literally bringing nature indoors. Ceiling and wall elements begin to incorporate regular and irregular patterns while natural materials ensure a certain level of irregularity to keep the space from looking sterile.
WELL V1 Mind Feature 87 – Beauty and Mindful Design I
(Human delight; Celebration of culture; Celebration of spirit; Celebration of place; Meaningful integration of public art)
Because urban wood is a local product, when purchased it supports the local economy. When commercial buildings use local urban wood or salvaged wood from deconstructed buildings, they capture not only the history but the spirit and character of the community.
