Commissioned by Camberwell College for use across 3 floors of creative departments, to enable spatial divisions over large open floors, providing flexible pin-up walls for students and additional coat and bag storage.

Our design provided 100 lightweight poplar ply panels with pin-able cork rubber faces, which could be easily lifted and attached to mobile trolley frames via split batten brackets on the back of the panels. The trolleys were built from solid beech connected together with knock down fittings and steel ‘foot’ brackets made from 8mm sheet steel.

M shaped timber rails created the receiving ‘split batten’ at high and low level, and enable panels to span across trolleys to form longer walls. Trolleys can hold panels one side or both sides, but also in vertical and angled orientation because of the detailing of the two levels of split batten fixings and trolley foot. Rotating a panel vertically allows the tops of the lower ‘split batten’ clips to hang on the M section rails, and the bottom face of the panel rest to rest against the angled cut on the ends of the foot rails.

We made folded steel W shaped coat hooks that were fixed to the underside of the trolley rail for hanging coats, and similar C shaped hooks for hanging bags in either orientation of the pinboard panel

The trolleys enable spaces to be easily created and reconfigured by students as needed, but the design also allows them to be nested and stored efficiently when not in use.
