Floating Forest: Wooden Tables with 3D Printed Biodegradable Tree Legs - Yanko Design
Briefly

Designers Aki Hamada and Yanning Hou have created a wooden table distinguished by its 3D-printed legs, which are digitally scanned from real tree trunks. This impressive design merges natural inspirations with modern technology, capturing organic forms to highlight nature's beauty while allowing for functional furniture. The table's ‘floating’ appearance, aided by transparent cellulose acetate legs, adds visual intrigue. Furthermore, the biodegradable nature of the material ensures an eco-friendly approach, connecting high-tech execution with a respect for sustainability and the organic origins of materials.
The concept marries organic beauty with advanced technology, as 3D printed legs, inspired by the natural shapes of tree trunks, creatively showcase furniture design's potential.
Capturing the unique, organic forms of real trees through digital scanning revolutionizes furniture making by allowing the transformation of nature's imperfections into functional art.
