Tensegrity Coffee Table

An original piece conceived, designed and handcrafted from handpicked 20-year-old American oak, with seamless grain matching across the sweeping arc. The upper surface appears to float, suspended entirely by precision-tensioned stainless steel wire rope through a self-engineered tensioning system.

Brass and stainless steel fittings, concealed joinery and hidden brass pins keep the form uninterrupted. Available with a tempered glass top or parquetry oak surface, this piece functions as both furniture and a sculptural statement grounded in physics.

Japanese Toolbox

Crafted to demonstrate a developing skill set in traditional and detailed woodwork, this toolbox introduced a range of joinery fundamentals including friction-fit construction, flush saws and Japanese chisels. The maker's initials are hand-burned in Katakana characters using an electrically powered burning tool, bringing together modern technique and traditional craft.

No metal fasteners were used in the construction, reflecting a commitment to the authenticity and integrity of original Japanese woodworking methods. Constructed from contrasting rock maple and wenge, the finished piece meets its design brief in full: storage for multiple tools, a balance of aesthetics and function, and a genuine expression of traditional Japanese carpentry.

Noguchi Poster — Industrial Design Art

This artwork was developed to depict the way industrial designers think when a product comes to life. The use of rough sketching techniques paired with a polished CAD render highlights the start and end of the design process. The bold text at the top of the page gives credit to the original designer Noguchi whilst also being an eye catching feature in the Futura font from his era.

The software Blender was of greater use than Fusion 360 when it came to rendering the table at the bottom of the page as it had more digital lighting and materials options while also being customisable.

Dual Table End Vice

A dual table end vice fabricated from mild steel, with the clamping mechanisms upcycled from two repurposed roof jacks given a new life. The bars were turned on the lathe and face components were cut on the plasma cutter, combining traditional and industrial processes in a single functional workshop tool.

Firebox

Designed in Fusion 360 and fabricated from plasma-cut flat steel. The form was developed digitally before being cut and assembled by hand, demonstrating the workflow from CAD to physical fabrication.

Sashimoto Benchseat

Constructed from Tasmanian oak as part of a short course at the Jam Factory, Adelaide. Built from a design by Peter Fong, this piece developed precision joinery and finishing skills through a structured workshop environment under professional guidance.

Chessboard

Handcrafted from reclaimed floorboards and scrap timber. A study in pattern, precision and resourcefulness, demonstrating that considered design can come from modest materials.

PS5 Custom Console Covers

Custom-designed replacement covers for the PlayStation 5, currently in prototype stage. Designed for 3D printing with a focus on fit, finish and personalisation.
