Exploring the idea of interlocking legs further and creating a modern interpretation of this typology we used state of the art CAD software and a 3D printer allowing this complex geometry being built in one piece.
This particular 3D sand printing process, called binder jetting, gives our African Table its interesting raw aesthetic due to its rough surface finish. It is commonly used in the automotive industry for prototyping and small batch production and offers the possibility to realize pretty large and complex objects.

The table is printed in sand and afterwards infiltrated with a resin. Our prototype was built by ExOne Gmbh in Germany using a process called binder jetting.
