Selected work
Six things, and what they were for
Mota stacking chair
Stacks eight high, ships flat, and is repaired with one hex key.
Norte bench plane
A plane for people learning, cheap enough to be bought wrongly.
Rua shelving
One extrusion, four lengths, no fixings that are particular to it.
Folding step
Holds a hundred and twenty kilos and hangs on a nail.
How I work
Four stages, always in this order
Understand the factory
Before any drawing, a day where the thing will be made.
Draw for the process
The tooling decides the form more than the sketch does.
Prototype at full size
Three rounds, and the third one gets sat on by strangers.
Stay through first production
The first thousand units teach what the drawings did not.
