'Pinch' is my final major project. This was a celebration of tubular steel crush techniques, creating a new joint fixing and new visual language for domestic furniture. 

 

This project was all about learning through making. I was experimenting with tubular steel and wanted to see how it reacted when pressed under huge amounts of pressure with different profiles. Through my experiments, I was able to create a new locking mechanism which then I designed a whole range of tables around the joint.
