01 — MACHINING
Machining
Components for Ice Press No.1 are precision machined in Bolton.
CRAFT & ENGINEERING
How the object
takes shape.
FARRINGTON’s engineering language begins in the workshop. Material is cut, machined, assembled, inspected and tested in Bolton.
THE WORK
Precision is a process.
Manufacture is not hidden behind the finished surface. The sequence of machining, finishing, assembly, inspection and testing is part of what gives a FARRINGTON object its character.
FROM STOCK TO OBJECT
The work remains visible.
Machining, material, assembly, inspection and testing remain part of the finished object’s identity.
02 — MATERIAL
Material
Stainless steel, aluminium and brass are used for distinct functional and tactile roles.
03 — FINISHING
Finishing
Selected machining paths remain visible as evidence of manufacture.
04 — ASSEMBLY
Assembly
The finished object is assembled in the Bolton workshop.
05 — INSPECTION
Inspection
Relevant dimensions are individually checked before the object leaves the workshop.
06 — TESTING
Testing
Each complete Ice Press No.1 receives a functional test.
07 — THE WORKSHOP
Bolton, England
Machining, assembly, inspection and testing take place in the same Bolton engineering environment from which FARRINGTON grew.
FARRINGTON
Engineering is not the story added afterwards.
It is the method by which the object becomes possible.
