A standing computer station
Here is the plan.

| Dimensions in inches |
This commission did not require complicated forging techniques. The challenge was of another nature.
The client called upon a blacksmith that uses the most ancient techniques for forging. The problem was the integration of an object produced with these techniques in a minimalist decor with little space available and where scrolls and leaves of classical blacksmithing would not have been at home.
On the plan above and the photographs below appears a simple, functional design that does the job. And this was one these commissions where the client does not run away upon hearing about the price.
What made this commission endearing was that it permited to insert the forge in comtemporary life, in the habits of young people, those who define the new world.
A general view.
Here, we clearly see the three levels of the station : screens on top, keyboard and mouse on the larger shelf and the hard disks in their disappearing act on the third level.
The boards that make up the shelves are simply inserted in the fishtails forged to receive them. The wood can freely adjust to the humidity variations without risk of spliting.
Neat, functional, contemporary and absolutely inexpensive.
