Coral
In our latest project, we navigate the space between precision and spontaneity. The coffee table we designed explores the contrast between smooth, machined surfaces of soft materials and the raw, textured qualities of reclaimed hard materials.

Bubinga (Guibourtia tessmannii) and Quartz
-
Scanning and robotic milling.

Coral can be made according to space requirements. The demo piece’s dimensions are 970 x 317 x 355 mm
Our workflow begins with scanning the stone, which is then repurposed in its original form. Through robotic milling, we create a friction joint that cradles the unprocessed element. By leveraging the natural malleability of wood, we carve a negative space for a raw object to fit.
This approach addresses a key challenge in circular design: the high energy consumption and technical difficulties associated with recycling hard materials or mixed debris.
