Global Corby
Introducing the Corby Collection of wood veneer desks, tables and storage elements. “Christopher Wright has reflected on the mid-century modern vernacular to design a unique series of workplace furnishings that reward a new generation of pioneers and nation builders”. The collection has a simple and straightforward product map, made up of pieces that are preconfigured, easy to specify, and install. The pieces are all floor standing but are lifted off the floor with tapered legs that flare from the reverse beveled apron wrapping the bottom edge of the cases and surfaces. This detail gives the pieces their character and personality that is evocative of mid century modern. “I believe it has a more contemporary feel, more like ‘new century modern’ ” says Wright. The warmth of wood, its touch and craft adds to the collection’s appeal. Storage is a combination of open and closed shelving as well as combinations of filing and box drawers. The collection responds to the evolution of contract casegoods to be more like residential furniture, with a familiar scale, friendlier, and more inviting thus enhancing the user experience.
