Hand Loom
c. 1936
Imagine a bedpost deciding to become a weaving machine—that’s the vibe of Frederick Jackson’s 1936 design for a hand loom. This technical drawing breaks down the object into a side view, front view, and a detailed strip of its decorative patterns. The tall, turned wooden upright and the geometric zig-zags on the base give it a distinct Arts and Crafts feel, proving that even functional tools were designed with serious style in the 1930s. The handwritten scale at the bottom shows this was a serious blueprint ready for a carpenter to build.
