Boneless Table.
The new buck unfortunately requires a huge amount of tiny timber parts…
But through Kierans impressive designing of jigs and templates, cutting them all out accurately was surprisingly painless.
today, in the workshop.
Boneless Table.
We’re making a new and improved buck for the new Boneless Table - the previous version had some inconsistencies that compounded when gluing the halves together.
This version, will be stronger, longer lasting - and more importantly, more accurate.
The NEW, New Boneless Table.
As per usual, we’ve decided to make some design changes halfway through a project.
Now that the boneless table has taken form in front of us, the cutouts we put in the corners seem a little overkill.
Originally designed to match the Boneless Chair, we’ve decided that it looks mildly ridiculous, and have dialled back the cutouts on the table so that it isnt so overdone.
As time consuming (and expensive) making fullsize prototypes is, it’s always pretty beneficial; not only does it refine and cement a solid process to make the actual piece, but it also helps us get perspective on what it looks like in a real world environment.
What are YOUR thoughts on the new shape?
Q:You should try the concrete/pastel ceramic combination (Like the green one on the render). By coloring concrete it´s going too loose some of its punch! Great work btw!
yeah, thats what most of them will be.
we are particularly fond of the contrast between the harsh concrete and the more elegant glazed ceramics, we’re hoping that people will maybe even look at the concrete as an object of beauty - instead of a cheap and nasty building material.
the bulk of the first run (which we should be getting back in July) will be in white ceramic tops, but we will definately be getting atleast a few coloured options, both in pastel and some brighter colours.

you should try black concrete how sexy would that be
we’ve got some images of black concrete we’ve mixed here and here.
i agree that a black/black (or black-concrete white-ceramic) cup would look pretty ace.
Skol Cups.
Now that prototyping has begun on the Skol cups, Shane finally tracked down somebody to do the glazing for the ceramic parts. The good news? They do a whole bunch of colours, for pretty much the same price as black and white.
So while we’re still going to get mainly black glazes and white glazes, we’re also going to get a few fun coloured ones.
Marking out with a hangover is the worst.
We’re thinking of doing a giveaway.
only 25 notes so far!
is there really so few of you that want free stuff off us?
Would you be into it?
Should we do it?

Bought your copy of Monument yet? Because we’re on the back page.

totally read that as “making out” instead of “marking.” Got thoroughly confused.
ha, well wait for the next post in the queue!

Boneless Table.
With our acceptance into Vivid, we’re under a lot more pressure to get all of the new furniture finished. The new boneless table needs a new buck - so get out the full sheet of plywood and pencils, its time to start marking out.
Clamps, clamps and more clamps.

reblogging ourselves is not a sin.
get on board if you want to see a giveaway happen!

Q:Hey, What have you been using to add the colours to your concrete? Currently playing around with the use of concrete for a university project and noticed your work, really interesting to see what other people are using it for.
We’ve had the most success using oxides to colour the cement - we have used some other stuff before, like food colouring, but it has all faded over time - a few months and the blue cups we made with food colouring are now very very pale.
We’ve also found we need a LOT less oxide than they specify - the packs say to mix them at a 1:10 ratio, but we’ve been doing 1:50 and the colours are still really strong.
Whats the project you’re using the concrete for?
