The rapid-prototyped table features trunk-like legs that divide into ever smaller branches and form a patterned top surface.

Project Description:

Fractal Table is a table piece which derives from studies into fractal growth patterns. Treelike stems grow into smaller branches until they get very dense towards the top. Fractal Table, developed by Platform Wertel Oberfell together with Matthias Bär, is impossible to manufacture unless rapid prototyped.
