Solutions for Custom Furniture Design
The modern use of metals to construct furniture dates back to cast iron tables created in the early 19th century; contemporary designers seeking custom parts still frequently rely on metal for the construction of high quality furniture. Metal furniture not only remains durable and strong throughout its lifetime, but it also offers construction flexibility and deeply pleasing aesthetics. While many metal forming processes exist for furniture construction, one of the best methods to create attractive and complex furniture projects is metal spinning.
Flexible Options for Design and Construction
Working with materials like steel, metal spinning can be used to create custom furniture to match precise design specifications. Custom steel products feature high strength and excellent work hardening rates, but also remain highly machinable—allowing for spinning into virtually any custom shape that procurers require. Available dimensions include thicknesses from 0.040” to 0.135”, widths up to 24” in diameter, and heights up to 40”.
The design flexibility of custom steel furniture allows customers to request pieces ranging from classic to contemporary or more modern industrial stylings with a breadth of aesthetic finishing options, including polish, chrome, paint, and satin brush finish. Depending on design specifications, steel can take on a full array of custom looks, textures, and colors with satin, matte, reflective, mirror, bead blasted, or other finishes. This allows for maximum flexibility in sourcing furniture components of many different looks—all while maintaining the highest quality.
An Ideal Material for Furniture
To create components like metal table columns and chair bases, it is imperative to use materials that can maintain strength as well as beauty. Steel not only offers the strength needed for furniture applications, but also offers excellent longevity with minimal maintenance.
More Than Just Metal Spinning
A range of methods can be used to augment and complete the metal spinning process; welding, hydroforming, and other metal-working processes are also employed in fabricating furniture from steel. At China Exotic Alloy Screws Company, we offer a full variety of metalworking processes to manufacture furniture that fulfills our customers’ exact specifications. We also provide a variety of finishes to create furniture offer the most pleasing aesthetics with superior strength.
