Adrian Bergman. I have recently completed and FDA course in Furniture Design and Making, looking to further my studies by transferring onto a BA in Furniture Product. Passionate and experimental, I like to undertake a hands on approach to my design and craft, problem solving by means of continuous model making.
After the fruition of the FDA I have received an award from London Metropolitan University in recognition of excellent achievement for my project ‘Poles Apart’.
‘Poles apart’ is a modular display unit designed targeting the retail market. Each unit and is assembled using rubber o-rings as its only additional fastenings. The units are free from any glue and are constructed from ash and plywood. ‘Poles Apart’ utilises each component so it can be configured and customised in various formations to suit its environment. Offset angular holes are cut into the rails allowing the legs to slide through, secured to the surface using the rubber o-rings.
‘Glass Top Table’ was an introduction into traditional table construction methods. The table uses basic and through mortis and tenons for its structural joins and the frame top uses mitred bridle joints. The table is a combination of cherry, figured maple veneer and boxwood stringing.
‘Hessian Stool’. A traditional stool upholstered with a covering of hessian, cushioned using serpentine springs. Hessian is a material that is commonly used in upholstery but it’s usually hidden under layers of springs, cushioning and fabrics.
