Their name, in the frame
Quarters runs shared-living buildings in cities around the world. For their Chicago building, they wanted a seat that told you exactly where you were.
So we cut QUARTERS through the top beam and CHICAGO across the base, built the frame in black powder-coated steel, and hung a single wood bench in the middle. On the rooftop terrace, the open frame works like a picture frame for the skyline behind it.
More than a swing
Quarters also asked us to build a custom desk for their New York team. When they moved offices in 2019, our crew took it apart and rebuilt it in the new space, piece by piece.
The Chicago swing caught the eye of Wescover, the design site that maps furniture in real spaces. They found it online in 2019 and featured SwingTables on their Instagram and Facebook that June.
