White glove delivery within Southern California ranges from $150 to $350 for most items, based upon the distance from our workshop at:

The Hive Mind Modular Conference Table and Desk System

Offices change. Teams grow or shrink or reorganize entirely. Projects require different configurations than the ones that came before. Most furniture ignores this reality and expects you to work around it.

This modular furniture system does the opposite.

Each module is a trapezoidal desk that functions as a standalone workstation or connects with others to form whatever shape the day requires. Line them up for a long modular conference table. Arrange six into a hexagonal ring for group discussions where everyone faces the center. Cluster three or four for a collaborative pod. Scatter them around a room as individual modular desks. The geometry was designed to make all of this work without adapters.

The white powder-coated steel frames create the structure, with diagonal-rod bracing inside each leg that does real engineering work while looking like it belongs in an architecture studio. The open framework keeps the visual weight down despite the substantial solid wood tops. When modules connect, those steel edges form geometric seams that emphasize the modular pattern rather than trying to hide it.

The natural wood tops bring warmth and grain character that makes this modular office furniture feel like actual furniture rather than corporate equipment. Each panel sits inset within its steel perimeter, framed like a piece the system is presenting rather than just supporting. The wood came from trees that fell naturally around Los Angeles and gets finished in our workshop with hard-wax oil that handles daily use without complaint.

A modular furniture system built for companies that know their needs will change faster than their furniture budget. Design studios and creative agencies and co-working spaces and any modular office where the work itself keeps evolving. Start with two modules and add more as you grow. Reconfigure overnight when a new project demands a different setup. This is what flexibility actually looks like when someone bothers to design for it.

We build each module of these modular meetings tables by hand in our LA workshop. The steel gets welded in-house and powder-coated locally. The joinery between wood and metal is engineered to hold alignment across years of rearranging. These modular tables were made to move.

Features:
- Modular Industrial-Modern design with geometric layout capability
- Trapezoidal/wedge-shaped tops for flexible reconfiguration
- Clean angular metalwork with minimalist joinery
- Configurable into hexagonal, rectangular or serpentine layouts
- Individual workstation or conference table functionality
- Handcrafted in Los Angeles
- Made to order

our urban hardwoods
sycamore, elm & ash

These sustainable planks come from non-farmed trees that recently fell in our metropolitan environment. Local urban-lumber milling companies such as Angel City Lumber and Street Tree Revival will retrieve them and turn them into beautiful dimensional lumber, rather than allowing them to be sent to landfills. We've fostered excellent relationships with these organizations (noble, good-looking heroes whom we love dearly), so they'll call us when the newest batches are about to be dried and milled.

Our Reclaimed Wood
Old-growth Doug fir

We respect the use of all reclaimed wood, but at Parkman we only use salvaged lumber from Los Angeles County structures that were built about 100 years ago or more. This old-growth wood is derived from ancient trees that, thankfully, are no longer being deforested. We prefer this sustainable lumber due to its natural durability and beauty. Conversely, most furniture wood these days comes from farms that cut their crop young, leaving the lumber comparatively soft and bland. These farms also use massive amounts of energy and water, unnecessarily damaging the global environment.

& fair wages

We perform all of our woodwork and metalwork in our Los Angeles workshop so that we can personally oversee every aspect of your build. Most shops you'll come across simply design and market products, but don't actually build any furniture, preferring to outsource the physical work to cheaper white-label shops. We lean into the entire process, from inception to inspection, and pay fair wages with benefits to our expert craftspeople.

For a similar cost to a mid-tier retailer you can get a fully custom piece made just for you, with reclaimed wood you can feel great about. Super happy with it!
