The Challenge

What needed to be designed

I used this piece to practise productising a design — standardising parts across SKUs, defining a fixture hole pattern, and preparing sales-spec-ready documentation.

The Approach

How DesignForge approached it

  1. 1

    Standardised the top plate, leg profile, and 16mm fixture hole pattern.

  2. 2

    Designed two SKUs (1.2m and 1.8m) sharing 80% of parts.

  3. 3

    Produced manufacturing drawings, a spec sheet, and packaging dimensions.

The Deliverable

What was produced

Final product with standardised hole pattern and flat-pack option.
