Crimp Side Table

Marrying three forms of mild steel, this table requires no welding or mechanical fixing, creating a piece that is clean, simple and direct. Inspired by an aluminium change caddy he saw at a restaurant in 2018, David applied a ‘crimping’ technique to lock the tubes and rods together using a hydraulic press to apply nine tonnes of pressure per crimp. The edge of each sheet steel top is then bent to just over 90° to fit perfectly over the frame. Designed, sourced and manufactured in London. Only 30 made.
