FourFold Awarded a Design Guild Mark
FourFold Designed by BroomeJenkins for Ocee International/Four Design awarded a Design Guild Mark by the Furniture Makers Company 2022
Being recognised by the Furniture Makers Company with a Guild Mark is an esteemed recognition of design quality by industry peers. Therefore we are delighted that Fourfold as a more ‘technical design’ has received an award. We are also delighted for Ocee International and Four Design as the Guild Mark rewards their commitment to the project.
‘Developing Fourfold was both challenging and enjoyable. It is a good example of three-dimensional problem solving, the aim being to develop a four legged flip-up table. The response is unique and already popular in mainland Europe and Scandinavia. A Guild Mark is therefore a great endorsement for the UK market.’ Barry Jenkins
Although the final design is simple in appearance, every aspect of the table is essential and was determined through a series of physical trials and hands-on experiments by the team. This resulted in a well resolved design where the overall frame geometry, leg shape and extruded beam all contribute towards a product that is simple and safe to use and compact when stored.
There are few opportunities in the design of contract furniture to genuinely innovate. However, the technical challenges of Fourfold took priority and resulted in a very original response.
