Tree Table: a modular plywood structure

The project

Tree Table takes its cue from the way trees grow and translates it into a piece of furniture. Its structure gradually widens from a narrow core to an upper support area, making this transition the table’s defining feature.

Plywood was chosen for the modules, which were cut by laser. The pieces connect to one another in a weave-like arrangement: the table’s form is built through the relationship between its components.

The modules gradually progress from a small diameter to a larger one. This change creates a tree-like base, with a compact lower section opening out at the top to form the table’s support.

The inner lattice and central structure reveal the repetition of the pieces and the gaps between them. The reference to nature is therefore expressed both in the overall silhouette and in the arrangement of the modules.
