ROCA is a brand-new restaurant in Des Moines focusing on small plates and artisanal cocktails. It’s housed in one of the oldest buildings in downtown Des Moines, built around 1865, just off the Des Moines River. Chef/owner Jason Kapela had the damaged brick torn off the front of the building, and installed big glass panels that let light flood in. Factor Fabrication built the chef’s table (bottom photo) for ROCA, as well as a modern coffee table, which is a twist on this bench in our collection, with a salvage-wood top and black powder-coated steel legs.
Fun fact. Boonie and I aren’t the network TV-watching type, but we heard The Bachelor filmed an episode here and that the Factor Fabrication table was shown often.
