Flexi Column System

Thank you for visiting the Flexi Column System website

This is a new product venture and concept be warned!
If you are wanting to make a purchase, we can’t sell you anything as we haven’t manufactured the product yet (but it is in the process) so you might want to move on. If so sorry to see you go!

However should you wish to stay, thank you. I would be extremely grateful for your comments

This project is based on an idea I had 4 years ago, I designed a decorative method of making columns. It was suggested I patent the idea to safe guard my commitment which I have done (that in itself was an experience).

Now patented and protected, I am able to continue my research and development.

There is now a questionaire so we can gather your opinions. Which we will be very grateful for.

We would be especially interested in hearing from Designers and Tradesmen.

How the Flexi Column System will work

The system will be available in a series of parts that slot together to enable different sizes and cross sections to be constructed.
You can use those parts to create columns and half columns with and without bases and capitals.
Here are some of the column sections you can create with the various parts. Dimensions are approximate.

The columns will be hollow, we have had ideas of using sections of columns to run pipes or cables down. You are able to create quarter sections and half sections you could use it like architrave or half circles against the wall.

Some example prototypes

None of these use the final materials they use a combination of prototype 3D printed parts MDF and cardboard tubes. So we can check tolerances fits and combinations. Currently we are evolving the design of the pins. There are more example and prototype images here.

Boolards

We have been working on some example Boolards, some with lights for outside and some without for interiors. These are prototypes from in and around our workshop.

Whats next?

Currently we are building examples and a showroom in order to be able to display and photograph completed display examples to inspire buyers. We hope to complete these works in late in 2025.

In the future we may look to assign areas of the country to different agents if you would like to be considered please contact us below.

About Me

After a long career in soft furnishings supplying national brands with bespoke products while also working from a local shop supplying the public I semi-retired. In 2014 I started a business making Pelmets with rounded ends / returns www.pelmets4u.co.uk still operating.

Whilst working on the pelmets business I realised there was an opportunity to make columns or parts thereof, seeing the potential more than 4 years ago. I am now in my mid seventies. My problem is I hadn’t anticipated how long it would take to get to where I am now and whilst I enjoy it I'm not going to carry on for ever. I'm now thinking about the best way to take this business forward and make it a success.

So I am interested in talking to potential agents for the new flexicolumn system.
