Aluminium can be difficult to weld and screw. With that in mind a riveting/tenon technique was developed for the Rivet project. This was also a way to experiment with different variations of visual assembling. The straightforward design is laser cut and hammered by hand, which puts it in a category between craftsmanship and industrial production.
The joinery on this table looks so clean from across the room—you can really see the care in how the metal meets without ugly screws. Understated but sturdy, and the finish feels smooth to the touch.
The riveted joints look sharp up close and feel rock solid when I lean on it. Assembly took me maybe ten minutes, and the aluminium’s got a nice brushed finish that catches the light in my living room.
The tenon construction caught my eye immediately—it’s such a clever workaround for aluminum’s fussiness, and the joints look almost sculptural up close. I’ve had it next to my couch for two weeks now, and it feels solid enough to lean on without a wobble.
