Overview
HeatSync Labs's headquarters is located in downtown Mesa, which looks overly Leave-it-to-Beaver. HeatSync Labs is full of futurists who fantasize about living on the Enterprise, so our look and feel inside the lab will be different. Most hackerspaces, unfortunately, end up with a "garage sale" look in contrast with the modern Ikea look that most co-working spaces have, including the one we've hosted events in for over a year. We should aim for a uniform base of wall colors/layout and basic furniture and leave whatever items rest on it in aesthetic freedom.
Our colors are a base of graphite gray and cloud gray with industrial orange and sunshine yellow for complementary colors. Walls should be combinations of the grays, with the possibility of some orange accenting. Furniture can be any combination of the aforementioned colors, and black. We have a hardwood floor and wood furnishings of the same beech wood color. Wooden furnishings should ideally be somewhat close to this. No mahogany nonsense. We're not a lawyer's office. Metallic elements will likely be shown off in machinery, so having shiny metal in furniture is great, but non-grey metals (brass, etc) should be avoided.
Proposed furniture
Commons tables: Ikea Vika Byske table top + Vika Lilleby Trestle legs (rated to 110 lbs, sturdier than single legs)
Private work benches: Galant combination desk with drawer
