Sharing space with 3 product designers is both beneficial and alienating.

The wealth of knowledge they bring to the table is almost encyclopaedic, problems I'd have previously tackled with duck tape now magically solve themselves with a few screws and some brackets.

The uglier side of this arrangement materialises in daily discussion of tables legs, tensile material strength and groundbreaking new ways to make one bit of wood into two. I often find myself dreaming of someone more graphically inclined, whom I could hold hands with whilst confabulating about the nuances of the adobe suite, could even share a typeface or two.

To extend an olive laden branch I suggested myself and award winning furniture talent Phil Procter design a bedside table. The brief stipulated two conditions had to be met; the table must feature a draw, and in its construction we were to only use 3 lines per turn with a total allowance of 5 turns each.
