Recent Work
Product: Flix
Company: Rotadex Systems Ltd
Materials: H.I.P.S, Mild Steel Wire
Processes: Injection moulding. CNC wire bending. Chrome plating
Flix is a rotary card index designed for an emerging Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) market. The product represents a shift from the typical ‘executive’ look to more colourful, and playful, characteristics. The product is available in a range of colours and provides simple access to hand written or typed contact cards, or plastic sleeves to hold business cards.
Flix was short listed for the Lord Stafford awards in 2001, and was awarded commendation in the West Midlands Design Awards in 2002.
Product: Hokey
Company: Rotadex Systems Ltd
Materials: P.P, Mild Steel
Processes: Die cutting. Printing. CNC machining
Hokey is a polypropylene, desktop paper sorter. Documents and letters can be filed in three separate ‘sleeves’ to allow prioritising as ‘in’, ‘out’ and pending. The vertical orientation of the product ensures a minimal footprint on the desk. The product is supplied flat-packed with minimal packaging, providing cost and environmental benefits. Hokey’s bright colours and playful form relate to the emerging brand values associated with Flix, and the start of a coherent range of products.
Product: Fetch
Company: Rotadex Systems Ltd
Materials: Sheet steel, A.B.S
Processes: C.N.C sheet steel punching/forming, folding. Powder coating. Injection moulding.
Fetch is a mobile office storage caddy, designed to target emerging trends in hot-desk office configurations. The product is offered in a range of colours, and accent shades. Manoeuvrable on large castors, there is a flush mounted handle and a single lock to secure the unit. A name badge is mounted onto a small posting slot that allows notes to be safely delivered when the owner is not in the office. Unlocked, the lid opens, assisted by a gas lift, revealing a large tray area. The lower drawer opens against a counter balance for stability, and provides storage for lever arch and suspension files. Fetch was the ‘Interior Products’ winner and overall ‘Products & Genius” winner in the B.D.I Industry & Genius Awards, 2005.
Product: Locker
Company: Templestock Ltd
Materials: Sheet steel
Processes: C.N.C sheet steel punching/forming, folding. Powder coating
Designed as a bespoke product for Templestock’s customer, this locker provides a unique solution to a client problem. The company required secure units for their engineering staff, with segregated wet and dry storage. A central partition allows wet overalls and boots to be kept separate from dry clothes to change into at the end of the day. The lockers are mounted on steel frame plinths over a heating system, which allows warm air to circulate through the interior. Louvres formed in the sheet steel assist with ventilation. The client was keen to keep the locker room clutter-free, so the units were designed with a sloping top to prevent items being left above them.
Product: Stove Stool
Company: A.J Wells & Sons Ltd
Materials: Rattan
Processes: Weaving
Bodj - a division of A.J Wells & Sons - is a fair trade programme selling exclusive hand made tiles and homeware manufactured by a number of small developing businesses in Cambodia, South East Asia. The Stove Stool has been developed to extend the range of fireside accessories already sold by the company. Employing traditional weaving techniques, and indigenous materials, the stool provides an ideal place to warm your feet, indulge in intimate flame-lit conversation, or simply a place to sit when building or cleaning the fire. The stools stack to avoid cluttering space when not in use, and can alternatively be used as log baskets when turned upside down. The Stove Stool will be launched at the end of 2006 but has already stirred great interest within the Bodj dealer network.
