Inhabitat write-up on Lego Table

MDC Interiors Creates Awesome LEGO Table With the Help of 3rd Grade Students

 

MDC Interiors was invited to work with The Museum School of Avondale Estates for an art auction to raise money for the school – and they teamed up with a group of talented third graders to assemble this awesome LEGO table! The project is based on an old 80’s thrift store furniture piece that the team dismantled and spray painted orange. All of the wood is reclaimed, and the LEGO bricks are pieced together without glue. The kids initialed their “lego block” so they could leave an imprint of their contribution.

Glow Table II Featured in Inhabitat.

Inhabitat featured our Glow Table II today and we're super thrilled. It's a part of our Glow table series which incorporates LED lighting to add ambience in a room or to illuminate objects within the table.  Read the write-up here or below.

MDC Interiors' Steel and Wood Glow Table Provides Dramatic Recessed LED Lighting

Mike Carpenter of Atlanta-based MDC Interiors crafts gorgeous turn of the century-inspired coffee tables which incorporate the rugged beauty of steel and the gentle warmth of LED lights. ‘Glow Table II’ is comprised of plywood and steel, with glass panels recessed into the tabletop to reveal the LED-illuminated contents of its drawers. The piece is part of a collection of tables by MDC Interiors which all incorporate efficient LED accent lights controlled by dimmer switches. The table’s deep tones and warm lighting create a dramatic focal point for any room.

Turn Your Houseplants into a Work of Art with MDC Interiors’ Indoor Concrete Wall Planter by Mark Boyer, 06/13/12

From furniture made using reclaimed wood to a living table that doubles as a bonsai tree planter, Michael Carpenter of MDC Interiors has been developing a wide range of innovative green interior furnishings in recent years. Now, Carpenter has come up with another impressive design. The indoor concrete wall planter presents a neat new way to display houseplants by hanging them on the wall. The planter consists of a reclaimed wooden box and a thin slab of concrete, and there are a couple of holes that can be filled with plants and stones.

Calico Desk Featured in Inhabitat

We love Inhabitat and were stoked that they decided to feature our Calico Desk.  It's probably one of our most popular sellers and we're excited that the piece will be getting more visibility and feedback from Inhabitat readers.  The write-up and copy of the feature are below.

MDC Interiors' Cool Calico Desk is Made from a Medley of Recycled Materials  by Diane Pham
This gorgeous Calico Desk by MDC Interiors will add a bit of rustic charm to any interior space. Designed for a new series made with reclaimed wood salvaged locally from construction sites and discarded pallets from local warehouses and stores, each desk boasts a medley of colors, textures and depth to create one streamlined design. The front drawers of the desk are salvaged from a broken hutch, thus combining an old discarded piece of furniture to produce a functional desk. The chunky legs are taken from remnant 4×4 exterior wooden posts.

Inhabitat Feature: MDC Interiors' Glow Table Is a Cool Recycled Pallet Wood Creation

This post has been long been due.  MDC Interiors' Glow Table was featured in Inhabitat on Feb 8, 2012.  Time got ahead of us and thus we are only posting now (although we definitely tweeted and facebooked our heart out in Feb regarding the news).  Either way, we were very excited to be highlighted by a great eco-blog that always provides inspiring and innovative ideas.  Read the feature below or here.  The amazing photo was taken by Karen Shacham.

MDC Interiors created this uber-cool Glow Table from recycled pallet wood, concrete, glass, pine, and steel. The concrete combined with a narrow pallet strip provides an industrial feel along with a warm and earthy presence, and the natural opening in the pallet wood creates a perfect place to hold your favorite drink. A set of accent lights under the glass illuminate the beverages atop, and a dimmer switch is attached to change the light setting
