The first time I came across designs by Hufft Projects, it was of their sleek and industrial style custom furniture.
Upon visiting Hufft Projects one of the most impressing things was their design space. Arranged on three long tables, computers and chairs were evenly spaced and indistinguishable to give no hint to the status of the user. The tour guide (who had been with the company many years) explained that Hufft felt good ideas could come from anywhere, and that it was important for all of the designers to interact. So, all designers and even interns, regardless of status, experience, or specialization were all in the same open work area.
Hufft projects has a comprehensive metals shop in addition to a full wood shop, 3D printer, and CNC router. In the metals shop Hufft casts cabinet handles of their own design for high end clientele. This capability nicely compliments their custom cabinetry, which is a very big part of their daily production and revenue.
