George's passion for creativity is driven by a need to rationalise. The abundance of over designed buildings and objects only act to re-enforce his motivation. "My approach is always to think laterally and take several steps back in order to clearly see an objective. That's where the simple and beautiful solutions are often found".
Having travelled extensively before settling in London, George is influenced by architecture, civil engineering, aviation and the lateral thinking which lies behind them all. "I'm fascinated by the big projects, the logistics, the planning. Aviation epitomises all of these elements - so when a plane or helicopter flies over you'll always see me looking up, I'm inspired by the pure genius and endeavour."

The '2fold' conference room table makes a statement, not just aesthetically. The architectural form draws you in for a closer look. It delivers more than you originally suspect as you discover the unique construction is formed from a single sheet of immaculately finished steel.
By exploiting the strength of triangles an incredibly strong structure is created from relatively thin sheet steel. This approach means the volume of the base of the table is just ¼ of the glass it supports.
'2fold' has also been designed around the standard size of sheet steel in order to maximise yield and minimise waste. This radical approach limits waste steel to less than 4% per linear meter and proves that '2fold' scores highly as a sustainable product.

'2foldlow' is 2fold's 'little brother'. The fascinating design has been shrunk producing a highly distinctive occasional table offered in a variety of lengths and finishes.

'3fold's striking appearance is created from the same principle as '2fold' but allows the table a smaller footprint while accommodating leg space for the user.
By utilising advanced technology and precision engineering the execution of this table is faultless and provides the perfect multipurpose companion table for 2fold.
