Wwwave 3D Printed tables from waste plastic
From Garbage to Poetry: Giving Second Life to Plastic Waste
Pushing the boundaries of 3D printing
Too many plastic single-use products, such as packages or plant pots, ultimately end up in waste incinerators or, worse, in the environment. However, we can repurpose these high-quality plastics into various products, ranging from small items to larger ones like furniture and even boat hulls.
By using recycled waste materials, the Wwwave tables not only push the boundaries of circular 3D printing technologies but also demonstrate that innovative furniture designs can be both environmentally responsible and aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the wing-like semi-monocoque construction, inspired by our aeronautical roots, emphasizes the table’s lean and efficient design.
Wwwave 3D Printed Tables: A Centerpiece for Collaboration and Creativity
Wwwave 3D printed tables go beyond being just furniture; they actively foster collaboration and creativity in any space. Whether you want to enhance a workspace, a communal dining area, a social setting, or a conference room, these tables bring people together, encouraging unity and interaction.
Moreover, the Wwwave Table, with its wavy contours, flows through space like a river, making it an ideal centerpiece for communal areas such as restaurants and offices. The unique design draws inspiration from natural water formations. Specifically, we use advanced algorithms from the movie industry, which create stunning visual effects of rivers and water streams. Consequently, these algorithms are integrated into our design process, generating the intricate waves that form the table’s spine.
The tabletop features a wing-like cross-section that gracefully follows this spine, resulting in a sophisticated and organic shape. The tactile texture, a hallmark of 3D printing, adds a distinctive feel to the table, making it not only a visual delight but also a sensory experience.
Made on Demand
Our Wwwave 3D printed tables are made on demand, offering full customization in length and style. The waves can range from subtle to severe, and the tables can be crafted as single pieces or in multiple segments that join to form a continuous, flowing surface. This modularity allows for versatile configurations, adapting to various spaces and needs.
For those looking to create a unique and engaging environment, the Wwwave 3D printed tables provide endless possibilities. From fostering a collaborative atmosphere in an office to offering a striking focal point in a restaurant, these tables are the perfect blend of functionality and artistic expression.
Design Details
The Wwwave 3D printed table features a tabletop with separate legs. The tabletop’s unique faceted edge resembles a ribbon, creating a flowing and dynamic appearance. The legs are crafted from stainless steel tubes, combined with 3D-printed connectors and socks. This clever design allows for easy disassembly and offers extensive customization options in both color and material. The legs are available in two different lengths, making the table adaptable for various purposes, whether at home, in a workspace, or in hospitality settings.
Additionally, we offer the option to replace the standard legs with a custom-designed base to suit your specific preferences. For more information, please contact us.
