The balance of form over function when designing furniture is always the tug of war decision making that ensures the success or failure of a piece of furniture. Too much form over function means that people will quickly discard it once they realise it doesn’t work and too much function over form may mean people don’t even look at it to buy it in the first place.
A beautifully designed piece of furniture drawn on a paper may get the thumbs up but working out how to construct it may be more of a headache. We are here to take away that headache and work with you and the knowledge and experience of our staff to work out how to realise your designs from a fabrication and assembly stand point.
A real bug bear of ours and of designers was achieving a strong enough mitred joint without the use of cams and pins, as this results in the cam head being on show on the inside face of the joint. We have scoured the market and found a solution where no fixings can be seen, and only requires a small pilot hole on the inside of one panel to fix both component part together. The solution is Lamello®.
We have sourced these fixings and acquired all he necessary programming sequences needed to offer you a mitred joint of any angle within the fixings tolerances. They have proved a great success with our current customers who previously may have compromised on their design in order to create a piece of furniture that worked correctly. With Starbank you don’t have to compromise any more where mitred joints are concerned.
