Stijl Panel
MAIN PURPOSE: Compose a grid artwork with swappable inserts
A De Stijl grid you finish yourself. Thick black-style bars divide the panel into nine unequal cells: fill a few with coloured card, paint or fabric offcuts and leave the rest blank, then hang it on its keyhole as a modern wall piece that changes whenever the inserts do.

Coffer Tile
MAIN PURPOSE: Give a wall the depth of a coffered ceiling
A coffered relief tile, the sunken ceiling panel of Roman and Renaissance halls at the scale of a wall tile. A deep frame, a moulded inner ring and a sunken centre catch light from above in three steps; hang a grid of them on their keyholes for an instant architectural wall or ceiling.

Sunray Frame
MAIN PURPOSE: Frame a round mirror as an Art Deco sunburst
An Art Deco sunburst frame for a round mirror. Glue a 150 mm craft mirror on the centre field and the 24 rays, long and short in turn, spread out round it; the keyhole sits behind the mirror so the screw never shows.

Duet Tray
MAIN PURPOSE: Serve as a tray, then hang as wall art
A catch-all tray with a second life as wall art. The underside carries an engraved diamond pattern and two keyholes, so when the coffee table needs clearing it hangs on the wall face out as a decorative panel, and comes down again as a tray.

Moonbalance
MAIN PURPOSE: Balance a crescent on a fingertip
A crescent that balances on a fingertip by its nose. The arch weighs more below the tip than above it, so it tips, swings and always returns level; press an M8 nut into each horn pad and it stands on a pencil point or the Fulcrum Stand tip. A desk object that explains centre of mass without a word.

Bloom Ring
MAIN PURPOSE: Build a ring that expands and contracts
One link of an expanding ring: two 50 mm arms kinked at 150 degrees. Pin twelve pairs at their kinks and join the pairs end to end with M3 screws, and the ring breathes from a tight crown to a ring twice as wide when you pull it open. A kinetic centrepiece and a lesson in angulated scissors.

Helix Spindle
MAIN PURPOSE: Twist stacked discs into a changing sculpture
A sculpture you play with: oval discs with an off-centre hole thread onto an 8 mm dowel. Turn each a few degrees past the last and the stack twists into a helix; push them about and it becomes a wave, a fan or a column. The Swivel Post socket makes a ready base.

Gyre Lantern
MAIN PURPOSE: Fan ribs into a hanging globe lantern
A lantern that folds flat: twelve crescent ribs bolt together through the eyes at both tips. Closed, it is a single 214 mm crescent; spin the ribs round the axis and they open into a globe that hangs from its top bolt around a battery fairy light, casting a striped shadow.

Multi-part assembly
Observatory Beam
MAIN PURPOSE: Throw a turnable blade of light across the ceiling
A night light with an observatory roof. Set an LED puck on the round base and lower the drum over it: light escapes only through the slit in the roof, throwing one sharp blade of light up the wall and across the ceiling, and turning the drum on its base sweeps the blade round the room like a telescope dome turning to a new star.

Complexity

Rosace
MAIN PURPOSE: Throw coloured light through window tracery
A window rose for sunlight. Tape coloured acetate or tissue behind the seven round lights, hang it on a thread in a sunny window, and the twelve-lobed tracery throws a pool of coloured light across the room as the sun moves, like a rose window in a small church.
