We worked with The One Club San Diego to bring to life their trophy concept for the annual San Diego One Awards in 2021. The idea was a high quality / low cost resin trophy to mimic the look of discovered metals. Using Graphite and real polished metallic coatings, these trophies gave us an opportunity to go beyond anything we had attempted before and solve some really fun challenges. Incorporating 3d printing, seamless silicone mold making, unique super fast curing resins, and a powdered finishing technique, all developed and delivered in a short 30 day timeframe was truly rewarding. Here are a couple images from our process.

This was a giant, clear-cast, Vegas-inspired coin table for Rare Society Steakhouse in Solana Beach, California. This table not only needed to be crystal clear, but extremely temperature resistant to handle the variety of hot dishes it would see in its environment. We experimented with several resins and developed a unique combination that provides not only a perfect 1" clear display of floating gold coins, but also a heat resistant top coat, durable enough to survive a pot of boiling water directly from the stove- all without causing damage to the resin. Developing and curating this entire process, combined with being an enormous resin pour, we are thrilled with our results. We are so grateful to Second Sight Design for sharing a great vision with us and letting us bring it to life!

Ocean Park Inn, located in San Diego, began a new renovation project in 2021, and contacted us for new lobby and dining hall table tops. Located on the beach, their renovation demanded a more open and sun-lit common area. This presented a unique challenge, as we knew almost all resins "yellow" in the sun-even the variety of high-quality table top resins that we use for our art- so we needed to develop a process to ensure our tables would survive in extended direct sunlight. Originally we declined the project until we could come up with a way to prevent UV discoloration. As we soon realized, there was no way to accelerate the testing required to simulate prolonged sun exposure, so we took the extra time to test different methods and treatments over several days and weeks, and observed how the color aged naturally. After seeing some promising results through creating a tough and resilient process, we were thrilled to deliver a product we knew would last for years, and a collection that would stand out in a beautiful new hotel.
