Cinderella Table
For Cinderella Table, the designer merges the profiles of two 18th-century tables using software. He then digitally generates the volume of the object in a rendering. To create the very complex form, Demakersvan pushes the boundaries of computer-controlled wood cutting. Individual slices are cut and then glued together so the table ends up consisting of 741 layers of plywood.? By taking the traditional form as a template and using modern manufacturing techniques, the object creates a fusion of past and present. There are 20 copies in total.
