Stoneline Designs is interested in what our customers have to say.  

The photo below depicts the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles.  This large, unusual conference table was built to handle large meetings.  The design allows attendees to gather around a central opening where the conference leaders are seated.

StonelineDesigns, Inc. creates beautiful office furniture using wood, steel, glass and stone. Our stone topped conference tables are very popular for both home and executive offices. Following are descriptions of some of our most popular types of stone, slate and granite.

Absolute Black Granite

Honed or Polished Finish

 

Absolute Black Granite is one of the most popular materials that Stoneline Designs, Inc. uses for its custom made office furniture. It is a deep Black stone from Zimbabwe with no veining and consistent coloring. It is available in both a honed finish and a highly polished finish. A 1" sandblasted border and edge detail is standard. A very hard and durable stone. The polished finish requires no maintenance while the Honed finish require occasional reapplication of Mineral Oil. Frequency depends on use but approximately once a year for a moderately used dining table.

Benjamin Grey Stone

 

The Benjamin Grey Stone is a Warm Grey Stone from Jerusalem with soft veining in a sweeping pattern over the whole surface. It has a Honed (satin) finish with a 1" hand-tooled border detail. It is a medium hard stone and scratching can occur. Therefore, coasters and placemats are recommended. Requires periodic reapplication of Mineral Oil. Frequency depends on use but approximately once every 2 years for an occasionally used dining table.

Cleft Black Slate

 

Our Cleft Black Slate is a black stone from Italy with consistent coloring. The stone is split (cleft) to provide a rough, textured surface. A 1" hand-tooled border detail is standard. This material is appropriate for infrequently used, formal dining tables or occasional tables (End, Coffee & Console Tables). It is a medium soft stone and scratching can occur. Therefore, coasters and placemats are recommended. It requires periodic reapplication of the final oil finish used in the sealing process. Frequency depends on use, but we recommend approximately once every 2 years for an occasionally used dining table.

Any Stoneline conference table can include a custom power/wiring system. Electronic devices such as computer, projector, or video conferencing equipment can connect to power and data ports cleverly concealed in the conference table top. 

Stoneline Designs offers many different power/wiring options in all their custom made conference tables including the following:

Salle de l'Alabama / Hall of the Alabama, Hotel de Ville / City Hall, Geneva (Switzerland)

This beautiful conference table hosted 2 events in US history. It is the site where the (First) Geneva Convention was signed in 1864, founding the Committee of the Red Cross

Later, in 1872, an international tribunal meeting here settled the so-called "Alabama Claims" of the USA against the UK for their actions during the US Civil War.

Stoneline Designs' Quadrant line features brushed steel panels riveted to a wooden frame. 

Stainless steel is known for its ability to be a clean surface that resists corrosion and rust.  Stainless steel responds well to cleaning as long as certain rules are followed.

• Routine cleaning can be accomplished by buffing with a soft cloth. This is the least risky option for cleaning our stainless steel products.  Wipe in the directions of the polish lines.
• If you've had staining or need to polish your stainless steel, a stainless steel cleaner may be a good option.  Some of these cleaners and polishes can help minimize scratching and remove stains.  They also can polish stainless steel surfaces nicely.  Read the directions on the stainless steel cleaner and test in an inconspicuous spot.  Be sure to rinse thoroughly and towel dry.  After cleaning you should reapply a protective wax.  Stoneline Designs uses and recommends Gleem by Saffelle.  This product is a cleaner which contains a wax to protect the surface.  All of our stainless steel tables are cleaned and polished with this before shipping. 

This section of our blog usually reserved for the information on conference tables throughout history.  I feel that this table built by the advertising agency, Boys and Girls, (Dublin) is worthy of being called historical. 

Stoneline Designs recently completed this granite conference table for a law firm in Las Vegas, NV. 

Stoneline Designs is pleased to add the Tangent Conference Table to our line of executive conference room furniture. The Tangent Conference Table (shown above with Frosted and Opaque Frosted glass table top) features two Steel plates combined in Oval or "Scround" shapes to form the stout base that includes levelors underneath. A 4" Square central column is flanked by 2 or 4 side supports in Brushed Aluminum, Wood or Sand-blasted Steel. Round or Square tables 48" and below do not need the side supports but they can be added as an option. Sand-blasted Steel rails with integrated leveling are bolted to a top shape (oval or Scround) that caps the column and side supports. A top rail support structure holds multiple piece tops for large conference table sizes. 

Our most popular option for conference table power and data ports is the 4" wiring grommet, shown here in a frosted glass conference table top:

One of the fun thing about being at Stoneline is getting to see beautiful tables take shape from raw materials. Yesterday, our artisan Bart (with help from Mace) cut a boat shaped granite conference table top, 66" wide x 16' long, from three pieces of absolute black granite. 

Last year Stoneline designed a conference table and credenza for a glass container manufacturer in Louisiana. Because glass is key to their business, we designed their table with our Patterned Scratched glass finish. It is a unique glass treatment with a sparkling blue-grey color. We just received this letter from the client:

It's been almost nine months since we received the conference table and credenza from Stoneline Designs, and I wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed the compliments we have received from our visitors.  Since we are a glass container manufacturing facility, it is appropriate for the beautiful glass design table.  The 12.5 ft Crescent conference table with scratched glass and the beautiful credenza definitely make a statement!
 
It was a pleasure working with Diana and Monte.  You calmed my fears about ordering from an internet showroom.   We could not be happier with the experience and the product.
 
Regards,
Barbara

Barbara, we're so glad you're enjoying the table and credenza. We hope you'll send a photo, maybe with examples of your glass containers on the table so we can see how well they go together. Thanks so much!

Spring has arrived in North Carolina, and when weather permits, our artisans move some of their work outside. Here Mace uses a diamond drum to polish the wiring hole in a glass conference table top.

When the conference table is assembled, the hole will be fitted with a wiring grommet which houses power and data jacks under a removable cover. Most wiring grommets are flanged to cover the edge of the hole, and sit up on top of the table. Stoneline uses a grommet without a flange which is set flush with the tabletop surface, leaving the edge of the hole exposed. We hand polish and edge detail the hole, creating a focal point in the design of the table.

Running water reduces friction as Mace works, and tape protects the glass table top in case the diamond drum slips.

We just received these photos of a conference table we designed for a client in Ohio. The client is an innovative environmental designer which specializes in changing people's behavior through the design of physical space. The conference table, from our Crescent line, features a boat shape top with our "Scratched" glass finish. The table was installed in a training facility designed by our client. We also provided several pieces of "Scratched" glass which were used to create signage and counters in the space.
