Awards

DeSavino & Sons' See Saw design was named Caesarstone's Design OUT LOUD Philadelphia Favorite Design Winner.

Caesarstone teamed up with 20 teams of designers and fabricators for an interactive showcase of design inspiration, using a new thermoforming technology to shape stone into organic curves. The event was held on September 17, 2014 at the Sub-Zero and Wolf Showroom in the Philadelphia Navy Yard, where local fabricators, designers and architects showcased Caesarstone in a variety of artistic ways.

Congratulations to HDR Inc., Bristol Millwork and DeSavino & Sons, whose seesaw design was named the Favorite Design Winner.

This unconventional children's seesaw has a curved base that rocks back and forth, unlike a typical pivoting seesaw. The weight of the Caesarstone combined with the curved design lets the unit keep a constant balance. Children can sit on either end or in the span across the center.

It was made of thermoformed Caesarstone quartz. The material was first cut to shape on a CNC, then reduced in thickness and heated so it would bend around a form. Once bent, the pieces were carefully glued and polished together to create a one-of-a-kind design.
