INSPIRATION: Fast fabrication was the key to bringing Hufft Projects sophisticated picnic table design to life in time for the Kansas City Art Institute’s annual charity auction. To make it happen, Hufft relied on Joe Munson Studios to fabricate the table in just one week, complete with internal steel bracing that allows the aluminum to function without external welds.
