The legs travel up and blend into the top making many small openings. The top of the table travels down each opening into the leg and then back out the bottom, the table is one complex infinite surface, outside becomes inside and inside becomes outside over and over across the top surface. It’s a fabric of space. Reaction Table one of the first of it’s kind to use metal 3D printing technology to build full-scale functional furniture. The design was developed using custom developed computer algorithms reconstructed using software used in the medical industry for reconstructing MRI data.

Many small fibers create a structural branching system in steel. The structure is not solid, it is porous like a sponge, the leg is made of many small legs. This is a celebration of the micro. The material goes beyond it’s own limits. The table is an alien. Fiber Table is one of the first of it’s kind using metal 3D printing technology to build full-scale functional furniture.

The structure touches down only lightly over a two-inch sheet of water on the other—saturating much of the first floor interior, acting as a thermal moderator, and prompting a series of wood boardwalks to accommodate both egress and accessibility. Clad by a double-membrane fabric façade, the proposal is predominately open-air and utilizes passive mechanics to equalize comfort in the arid Australian climate.

The product uses, Vibrio fischeri a type of bio-luminescent bacteria, to produce an organic renewable light source. Each bulb is spherical and can be aggregated to produces different types of lighting. When the bacteria deplete the nutrients in the bulb they die off and the biopolymer shell is disposed of. Each bulb is fully biodegradable.
