Majer Metal Works: Industrial Furniture for Order & Chaos

Loading the Elevenlabs Text to Speech AudioNative Player…

Explore the fusion of reclaimed pine and hot rolled steel in the custom-built furniture at Order & Chaos in Baltimore. This project, designed, fabricated, and installed by Majer Metal Works, features a built-in bench with integrated storage, a communal table, and steel counter elements. The use of 1/4” steel plates and 2” thick pine tops highlights the perfect balance between beauty and functionality in a modern setting.

Each piece was captured with precision using a Canon EOS 5D Mark III and premium EF lenses, including the EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM, EF 35mm f/1.4L USM, and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM. The resulting photos showcase the craftsmanship and detail of Majer Metal Works’ creations. Visit Order & Chaos Coffee to see this impressive work in action.

“His kind directness makes working with him so easy.”

Working with Jiho is an unique experience. He is an extremely engaged photographer, and he works very hard to capture the most compelling images that a particular subject might provide. He doesn’t hold back, but he is also very particular, resulting in images with both quality and dynamism. His work ethic is impressive, and his care in treating people never falters. In addition to shooting images of work in our studio, he has taken images of completed work both after and during installation. In all circumstances, he has successfully engaged the people in the environment, making the process of shooting a difficult object in a busy place a special event rather than an imposition, and the results are visible in the quality of his work.

I would recommend Jiho for any project—his attention to the subject is just as careful when shooting a person, an inanimate object, or even a pile of tools in a messy studio. His kind directness makes working with him so easy.
