The Slash The quarter sliced Walnut veneer wall panels with the in-laid solid Walnut " slash " from the Taft Law logo were also very intricate and difficult, he continues. " The greatest challenge was that the in-laid 'slash' had to line up with the 'slash' that was being produced by the flooring contractor in multiple locations. Coordination between us, the general contractor and the flooring subcontractor coupled with precise layout by our installation team led to outstanding results. The amount of planning and coordination that goes into a design layout like this is substantial. Our team expertly managed it. " The iconic forward " slash " is part of Taft's logo and brand was used as inspiration for several elements of the design, says owner representative Julie Munneke. " These elements range from the flooring pattern that also guides people through the space, to the canted flutes on the Walnut paneling coupled with the ornate wood door frames, raised panel wood doors and brass accents that pay homage to the firm's history and heritage.
