Fun with Foam Core Mock Ups
We recently took somewhat of an unconventional approach to creating a mock-up room for one of our hospitality clients by actually creating furniture out of foam core so we can quickly get a feel for the space. Since all of the furniture pieces we’ve selected for this renovation project are custom, and the design and construction schedule for the renovation is very tight, we didn’t have the time to do a traditional model room with actual manufactured furniture (which is why we’re calling it a mock-up instead of a model room).
