The Architectural Caster
A typical furniture caster is made up of a frame, stem, and two plastic discs snapped onto either end of a thin steel axle (where hair, carpet fiber, dust and debris collect). Most cost less than $.50 to produce, yet those on $50 chairs remain virtually indistinguishable from those on $2000 designer chairs. Where else in design-centric applications is there such disparity?
With more than 50 engineered components per caster, including high-precision chrome steel ABEC radial ball bearings, Enso was developed from the belief that casters should complement the design of the articles they mobilize. Further, that it’s possible for a caster, like great architecture, to move both functionally and emotionally.
Bearings Make All the Difference
With over 57 years of US ball bearing manufacturing experience, and with multiple patents granted and international patents pending on these products, Enso is innovation in motion. Dissatisfied with the lack of aesthetic and high-integrity casters in the marketplace, our creative engineering team set out to reinvent the wheel from the inside out – starting with bearings and building around them. The result is a caster that is superior to all others with respect to both function and elegance.
