4 Industrial Office Design Ideas Using Kee Klamp

When Esquire in Japan wanted to bring industrial style to their office, they turned to a decor that utilizes Kee Klamp fittings. Kee Klamp fittings allow you to create unique industrial decor without the overhead of threading or welding. The fittings connect to the pipe with a simple set screw, which means that creating a modern looking office doesn't have to become a painful ordeal.

Below are four office design ideas that use Kee Klamp fittings to create a modern, industrial feel.

1. Book Shelf Supports

These bookshelves have a unique construction that is used to create both a free-standing and wall mounted book shelf. The shelves are supported with a pipe that extends from the outer support and extends to a flange mounted along the back. The pipe structure combines form and function - providing strength, stability and a unifying look to the space.

Fittings used in this project:

• Type 15 Elbow - Used at the top of the vertical supports.
• Type 25 Three Socket Tee - Used on the vertical supports to connect the horizontal support pipes.
• Type 61 Flange - Used on the foot and the back of the unit to support the shelves.

2. Pipe Frame Tables

Frames for unique industrial pipe tables are a common use for Kee Klamp fittings. You can peruse different designs in our project gallery or even check out our pipe table kits. Pipe frames can be used to support custom table tops of just about any size, weight and dimension. This gives a lot of freedom to designers who want to use non-standard configurations. This particular frame uses the Type 70 fitting to lift the desktop off the pipe frame and give it a "floating" effect.

Fittings used in this project:

• Type 15 Elbow - Used at the top of the legs
• Type 25 Three Socket Tee - Used on the legs to support the horizontal support pipes.
• Type 62 Base Flange - Used on the legs to form the footing for the table.
• Type 45 Crossover - Used in the cross support under the desk
• Type 70 Rail Support - Used to attach the table top and give it a "floating" effect.

3. Door Handles

Elbow fittings were used to attach to pipes that were embedded in this door. The result is a slick looking entrance handle that speaks modernity and stability. Other designers, like Channing Glover have used pipe and fittings to create some really peculiar door handles.

Fittings used in this project:

• Type 15 Elbow - Used to connect the pipes together.

4. Room Dividers

When dealing with large, open, industrial spaces a common question is: how do we break up the space? Kee Klamp can be used to build creative barriers that will divide and conquer your space appropriately. The open-ness of the system allows custom signage and paneling to be easily attached. You can see that this divider also includes an integrated shelf. The Superbude St. Paul Hostel also incorporates some unique dividers to break up open space and create areas with different functions.

Fittings used in this project:

• Type 15 Elbow - Used at the corners of the divider
• Type 25 Three Socket Tee - Used to support the shelf and connect the frame
• Type 61 Flange - Used to attach the divider to the wall
