Project Overview

Love Metal Fabrication partnered with 17GRAMS Coffee & Brunch, a popular café on East Street, Chichester, to fabricate and install a bespoke window-side table frame. The goal was to create a minimalist yet robust support structure that seamlessly integrated with the café’s modern aesthetic while providing reliable support for a long tabletop.

The scope included:

Precise measurement and custom design to fit the window recess.
Fabrication of a mild steel frame with tailored bracket placements.
Application of a white spray paint finish for visual harmony.
On-site installation, completed swiftly to minimise disruption.

The project was successfully completed within one day, showcasing our dedication to precision and efficiency.

Challenges

The client needed a discreet yet strong support frame that would not obstruct the light or views but could safely support a continuous tabletop. Their key challenges included:

Exact fit requirements

The frame needed to align perfectly with the window recess and surrounding surfaces.

Aesthetic integration

The structure had to blend into the modern, bright interior without compromising design.

Minimal downtime

Installation had to be quick to avoid interrupting café operations.

Failure to meet these demands would have risked both visual coherence and functional stability.

Solution and Execution

1. Design and Engineering

We began with a detailed site visit and measurement session, ensuring that every element of the design matched the space precisely. Our team created a custom frame layout to meet the client’s vision, incorporating carefully placed vertical supports for optimal load distribution.

2. Fabrication Process

Using high-quality mild steel, we fabricated the frame with precision cutting and welded joints to ensure durability and a clean finish. The frame was then coated with white spray paint, chosen for its modern look and strong protective qualities.

3. Installation

The frame was installed on-site in just one hour, minimising operational downtime for the café. Our streamlined project management ensured a smooth process from delivery to final placement.

Results and Benefits

Fast, disruption-free installation – Completed within an hour to keep the café open and operational.
