Client and project:
Mercedes Benz USA - 2008:  Mercedes Benz parts as
executive boardroom and dealership furnishings designed by Steven Shaver.
Design direction:
Steven was asked to create furnishings made with obsolete Mercedes Benz car parts.  The client's Mercedes Benz wheel rims were chosen to become corporate furnishings.  (Other parts are on the palette awaiting an artistic purpose).  For the coffee table, he created a unique base so that the rim can rotate on the pedestal.  For the sofa height / display table  Steven incorporated an elegant stainless steel base.  Since the rims were used, the challenge was to cover the chips on the rim's edges and protect and support the glass.  Stripes or black ribbed conduit were incorporated and wrapped snug around the rim edges to resolve this.
Parts and materials:
 
Mercedes Benz wheel rims with added chrome lugs nuts, emblem, valve stem and cap, stripe and black conduit tubing.
Chrome and black base with hydraulic parts.  Black wheel casters.  Stainless steel base.  Black ABS.  24" and 28" round glass tops respectively.
