Mechanical & Industrial Details
The Whitworth base features arched cast iron legs, a visible gear-and-wheel crank assembly, and through-bolt bronze fasteners that emphasize its mechanical heritage. A full-width steel crossbar system connects the legs, reinforcing structural integrity while echoing early factory machinery.
Heritage-style markings on the base reinforce its authentic industrial character, making the mechanics a deliberate design feature rather than something hidden away.
Custom Top Compatibility
The 63” length is ideal for standard dining tables, large desks, and custom fabrication projects requiring adjustable height functionality with true industrial character. Best suited for appropriately proportioned tops that align with the base footprint for optimal balance and stability.
Industrial-Inspired Design
Inspired by Joseph Whitworth, the 19th-century British mechanical engineer known for advancing precision machining, this base reflects a legacy of strength, accuracy, and uncompromising industrial performance.
Designed in Knoxville, Tennessee and assembled in-house using a combination of sourced components and hand-finished craftsmanship.
