ARTS CENTER SPACE

2021 London

Joinery — Commercial / Cultural

​

For Arts Center Space in London we designed and produced a series of robust yet flexible joinery elements to support the venue’s events and performances. The project included a bespoke open shelving unit, a mobile DJ console, and a bench, each conceived to be functional, durable, and easily adaptable within the space.

​

The pieces were designed with a straightforward material palette and an industrial character, combining birch plywood with natural oil finish and a visible framework of steel pipes and clamps. This approach allowed the furniture to remain adaptable and repairable while fitting the informal and creative atmosphere of the venue.
