• The Metal Spinning Project; a series of three objects made using the process of metal spinning. The objects all exploit and celebrate the qualities of the material and the process.

• One: Indoor/Outdoor table, a three-foot spinning makes the top of this table, which is both strong and lightweight. The process of spinning is an excellent way to give rigidity to thin sheet metal. The powdercoated top provides weather protection for the traditionally jointed leg structure underneath affording the use of a wood with a stronger sense of quality and a greater longevity to the whole object. The top can be removed from the legs with ease and both can be stacked making it suitable for use in cafes or restaurants.

• Two: Dustpan and Brush, a spinning is cut in half and shaped producing two dustpans, a carefully placed hole creates a seat for the brush and allows the object to be stored hung on the wall. The brush crafted from ash with dyed natural bristles nests comfortably into the shape of the dustpan. This is intended to be an entirely different typology from the 1.99 injection moulded versions of this product, being rather a product for life which the user will cherish for its quiet beauty and functionality.

• Three: Ball Joint Lamp, a hemispherical element sits inside a base creating a ball joint that allows for simple and pleasurable adjustment of angle. A gloss powdercoating on the upper element increases the lubricity, a fabric covered twist flex gives a nostalgic quality affording the object a sense of timelessness.
