About
I am a recent graduate from Kingston School of Art, specialising in furniture design. My work is rooted in a design-through-making approach, with a passion for the workshop environment. I actively embrace exploring, experimenting, and fully engaging with materials and their processes which drive my projects in a positive direction.
The Crushed shelf is a shelving system stemming from extensive material exploration into steel tube flattening. Tube flattening refers to the process in industry of creating flat junctions in steel tubes in order to affix it to a flat surface. The Crushed shelf takes advantage of this cost-effective process to create a unique inclusive design. The flattened junctions in the tube allow for the crushed steel uprights to seamlessly slot into the shelves for ease of assembly, creating a strong and visually appealing joint. Since this joint provides the structural integrity for the shelf, there is no requirement for additional cross bracing. This directs focus towards the crush joint, effectively highlighting the tube flattening process as a celebrated feature.
