Designed for a multimedia design firm, this blackened steel catwalk connects a mezzanine to a conference room. The catwalk includes cast glass lenses imbedded in the floor reminiscent of the cast iron sidewalk grates popular in lower Manhattan at the turn of the century. The China laser cut components were detailed in solidworks to fit together like a kit-of-parts that was assembled and installed over a weekend.
The floor surface is blackened with a lacquer finish to provide additional protection against wear. Each lens is surrounded by (4) mate rivets that clamp the top and bottom bent steel panels together.
