The new Blackfen micropub, The Broken Drum, required a logo and brand for its opening. The solution took the form of an old military snare drum, ‘broken’ by an exaggerated tear.

Inspired Kitchen Scales

Interlocking fingers. Strong solution, but not the look I'm going for

Varying OD keeps pin in place

Off the shelf dowels could be used to lock the legs

How can the pivot housing be produced?

Recess to allow for spindle pivot

Exploring the ideas of using a key to lock the foldable leg

assembly in place

Complete change of form. Strays too far from the

brief

Like the idea of storing parts within parts. Bridge could stow

Exploring the idea of the scales folding in a scissor action. No taking forward

Desired look and function for this region of the scales.

To be further developed.

Japanese design combines tones of woods.
