LOS ANGELES - Steel office furniture has made a big comeback in recent years thanks to the diligence of vintage collectors and merchants of classic modernism. The popularity of furniture and objects from America's Steel Age has been so huge of late, that old molds from mid-century America steel furniture manufacturers have been dusted off and machines retooled in order to meet the demand to outfit entire offices with metal furniture. Sonrisa, the merchant that has specialized in rescuing steel furniture - and has been at the forefront of the vintage trend - introduces the MC Series of new steel furniture manufactured by McDowell-Craig.
"People appreciate the vigor and dignity that steel brings to the workplace," says Burke Byrnes, co-owner of Sonrisa with his wife Peggy. "To meet the calls we have been receiving for quantities of office desks, tables and credenzas, we are pleased to now offer this collection based on a great old formula."
The timeless, classic look of the MC Series is no accident. McDowell-Craig has been in the business of making steel furniture the same way since 1946. The tooling, the thick gauge steel and the manufacturing process are all unchanged. Many styles have been updated to accommodate computers, teamwork and multi-tasking, while some styles come off the production line with the exact timeless look of 50 years ago. From old business to new business, the MC Series from Sonrisa offers thoughtful design perfectly suited to fill contemporary and creative offices.
Durability of both style and material are ensured with the MC Series. Desk cases and table legs and panels are finished in black or "vintage steel" enamel colors. Brushed aluminum laminate or black laminate desk and table tops give a vintage look, while a wide variety of laminate colors, patterns and styles are available to fit any design scheme. Likewise, quantities are practically unlimited to fill an office with five to 500 workstations.
 Double Pedestal Desk -- Durable steel desks, once the mainstay of the American workplace, are back in style. Designed to efficiently handle vast amounts of paper, they can accommodate computers and other office machines needed in today's modern world. Comes with or without center drawer. Over dimensions: 60"-78"W X 30"-38"D X 29"H. Price: $1,070-$1,870.
Four Space Credenza - Books, supplies and computer disks all fit well in this piece, which is available in three- or four-drawers per space. As well, the two center spaces may be outfitted with shelves and sliding doors in frosted glass. Overall dimensions: 69"W X 20"D X 29"H. Price: $2,415.
