    IMPROVISATION MACHINE

  • FROZEN TEXTILE

    FROZEN TEXTILE

    Dieser Tisch wurde in meinem selfmade-Rotationsguss-Setup hergestellt. Der Entwurf basiert auf der Idee, eine flexible Gussform aus einem beschichteten Textil zu verwenden. Seine Gussform erlaubt unterschiedliche Variationen und Manipulationen. Der Fuß des Beistelltisches besteht aus Eiche und ist formschlüssig mit dem oberen Teil verbunden. This table was made in my DIY- rotation moulding setup. The idea…
