Table for Arc3 modern pulpit in transparent plexiglass and steel - Procson
Original Manufactured by Procson in Australia.
About this modern table
This modern table is the water table of the new Arc3 range. Our previous lectern designs have geometric shapes, made up of so-called primary shapes. Examples are circles, cones, rectangles. These shapes look great and are relatively easy to make.
The modern lectern, water table, and preacher table Arc3 deviate dramatically from this. They use organic forms (non-primary forms). It's much more modern. They look more fluid and have a more dynamic feel. This reflects the dynamic nature of church preaching. The preacher will rarely stand still on the stage. Instead, they are dynamic - moving, gesturing and speaking.
Making organic shapes is much more difficult. And even more in stainless steel. We estimate that it is about eight times harder to make an Arc3 range compared to Arc2.
The truth is that the organic shapes we wanted to create had never been done in stainless steel.
At first we explored other materials. It would have been much easier. But other materials are not as durable as stainless steel. We want the pulpit and tables to withstand the pressure of being used in a church for 20 years and still look great. If we were to use a painted finish, a chip or scratch would need to be touched up. Stainless steel is raw, so a scratch or dent won't be noticed in the same way. Most marks can be removed by careful rubbing with a tough scotch brite pad from the supermarket (the kind you would use to clean pots and pans.)
In addition to this, stainless steel and l clear acrylic (with anti-reflective film) are what designers call "rough finishes".
Unlike painted or applied finishes, rough finishes have a neutral look and are more likely to fit into a variety of interiors. church interiors. Whether in a traditional cathedral or a modern warehouse church building, raw finishes will always look good.
The Arc3 table comes standard with an anti-reflective film. This is especially important if you have a projection screen behind the preacher (most churches do).
It comes flat (keeps parts safer and saves the cost of sending air ). It requires assembly and we supply the tools and expect it to take you less than 5 minutes.
Like our other lecterns and tables, it is manufactured by us in Australia. It takes constant problem solving and monitoring to achieve our standards. We are pulpit specialists, that's all we do. It takes a commitment to that one thing to be able to craft that tough lectern, not to mention a high standard.
It's going to sit in the middle of your stage and your congregation is going to watch it every weekend. end. We are committed to doing everything possible to obtain the best possible result. There's no way it's possible by sending it for someone else to try.
The painful birth of the Arc3
Although still modern, the Arc2 lectern seemed a little long in the tooth.
We tried 17 times to design a better lectern than the Arc2. 16 times our selected customers said they preferred the Arc2. It was exhausting and fruitless. Finally, Stephen designed a form of lectern that was amazing but was impossible to do. We spent thousands of dollars and many hours to make one by hand. Our selected customers loved it. They wanted to buy it. We had to find a way to do it at a reasonable price.
2 years of trial and error followed, to figure out how to do it. It was impossible to manufacture with conventional machines, so we had to manufacture our own machines. We used to make machines from a metal cutting torch, tractor wiper motors and more conventional parts. In the process, we got 11 suppliers told various parts weren't possible to make, produced 436 design drawings, and set a tree on fire.
