Eddie Olin

London-based designer and fabricator @eddieolin 's work celebrates the aesthetic value of engineering processes, and in the five years since launching his eponymous studio, his practice has become synonymous with pieces that balance heavy metal with a sense of playfulness and visual lightness. His work brings often overlooked engineering processes and techniques into the spotlight, drawing attention to precisely machined elements typically hidden from view and using them to create furniture with precise, clean forms and angles that hint at his background in typography. Olin prefers not to overanalyse aesthetic choices, instead focusing on making what he finds interesting. Although his pieces are made in Manchester at a private engineering workshop, where keeping heavy industrial equipment is more financially realistic, his studio is based in London. With no grand masterplan or tick list of goals, Olin is content to let his practice grow organically, observing how the scale of projects continues to increase, from vases to hospitality and retail interiors.

x10 table lights made for @kricketlondon Mild steel construction, rolled and TIG welded cylindrical lampshades with custom cut perforated pattern, TIG welded lamp stands, custom turned bulb housings fitted into top of lamp stands  - all finished in matte powder coat I made a custom machined jig to hold the lampshade supporting arms at perfect 120° intersections. Ends of supporting arms were all tapped so button top screws could be used to nip everything together after paint Designs developed with long time collaborator @cake.architecture Photography: @felixspeller

New lighting completed for @kricketlondon Shoreditch space Matching set of three 3 metre long pendent lights. Mild steel construction, powder coated finish The perforated pattern was custom sized and laser cut into the steel prior to bending. The same spaced pattern was also used on 10 table lights spread along the front of the dining area which I will share next Also produced for the space was a series of cable hung XL Aluminium frames with textile panels set inside Designs developed with friends and long time collaborator @cake.architecture Photography: @felixspeller

Split Polished Vase XL on display with @maxradfordgallery Cast stainless steel, hand polished pattern Photography: @michelemargot

Split Polished Vase, 2025 Cast stainless steel (watertight construction) Available in 5 sizes Produced from cast stainless steel, each piece is individually polished back to expose a contrasting two-tone pattern. Rough casting against highly polished stainless steel. Every vase produced is completely unique. The patterns reflect the imperfect casting process, where a true concentric form is impossible to achieve. The polishing technique burnishes away any high points of the imperfect form, bringing that area down and revealing the glow of stainless steel hidden under the rough cast skin. Available to purchase on website Photography: @richard_round_turner Flowers: @opmflorist & @bleak__house
