Precision Engineering

We are obsessed by how things are made. In 2012 we designed some candlesticks that were milled from solid billets of brass and steel. Around the same time we started designing a wristwatch, machined from solid metal.

We were working with engineers whose clients were from the aeronautical and motorsport industries and were used to achieving extremely tight tolerances.

This led us to the design of the Overton table, we designed the components for a table frame, machined so accurately as to fit together and be as solid as if they were made from a single piece.
