Friend and fellow design man Mark Champkins has the honorable title of ‘Inventor in residence’ at the Science museum. As unofficial back-room design and CAD support I’ve seen these projects come and go, so wanted to blog them up.

TubeTable – Does skilled craftsmanship still exist in London?
Today we let the world see the TubeTable!
Bespoke furniture piece using craftsmen and suppliers within walking distance of our studio.
Harry Beck’s iconic 1920 design of the tube system is stripped of all colour and type to leave an abstract but instantly recognisable graphic. Sandwiched between two sheets of toughened glass, the cut-out provides an intricate but robust coffee table-top, mounted in a minimalist powder-coated steel frame.
These are for sale but as a limited edition of 20 pieces – Prices on request
