Modulus Designs

Setting up for the photoshoot featuring our "Euler" dining table, sitting on the top floor of this Manhattan penthouse. We're a long way from South Carolina!

Another one of our flagship coffee tables! This striking cantilever design is always a conversation starter. The hand-crafted steel base is supporting a 200 lb piece of Brazilian quartzite. Every aspect of this table can be customized to fit your aesthetic, including the material for the top. Choose from natural stone, live edge wood, or even hand hammered copper. Order now to have it in time for your friends and family to enjoy at thanksgiving.

Custom pantry of your dreams, coming right up. We have 1,500 lbs of American Elm, that is about to creat a beautiful built-in pantry for one of our clients. All of the solid Elm shelves have been meticulously hand finished to perfection, and will be mounted in a floating fashion, so that no hardware is visible.

Also, a peek at the nearly finished Sapele top for our Euler table, headed up to NYC!

Welcome to the Modulus Designs workshop! You'll find a collection of tools and equipment in our shop that more frequently overlaps with what NASA or your favorite race car team uses, rather than a typical furniture builder.

Precision and strength are critical to our designs due to the weight, Ballance, and unconventional shapes and angles we use.

Today's behind the scenes look is at one of our welding platforms. The hardened steel surface is machined to be perfectly flat and level. We use a system of guides, jigs, clamps, and positioners to precisely lay out every piece, and then lock it into place before welding. The heat that is put into each piece of steel during the welding process can cause it to bend and warp. Our specialized platform allows us to prevent that, when paired with the proper welding procedures.

Setting up for every weld can be a complex process, so prior to cutting the first piece of steel for your table, we pull measurements from our 3D model, and lay out the location and order of every single cut and weld (last photo).

We thank all of you who have reached out, curious about how we build these unique pieces of furniture. We plan to continue these workshop spotlights, but want to hear from you. What part of the build process would you like to see? Are there any specific tools or processes you'd like to learn more about?
