Unto This Last Overview

“Unto This Last” are a furniture and lighting manufacturer based in the trendy Brick Lane district of London. For my first semester of my 2nd year, my class worked with the company to explore potential and new products for their range. The company is very interesting and Olliver (the CEO), sees his method of manufacturing more like a Spline.

All of production is complete in a JIT method of production. This vision of splines and JIT manufacturing is made possible by using plyboard and a CNC Router.

The Brief: We had an open brief and were just told to explore possibilities with this form of manufacturing, price and speed of production were also very important.

The Solution: On the following pages you will be able to see how I reached the final ‘Stealth Light’, You will also be able to download this light, which can be reproduced on a Laser cutter using White Polyproplene.
