VICE Table

This project was done in collaboration with Mark Hash at the Yale School of Architecture in Aluminum Design and Fabrication and represents an interest in the testing of architectural ideas and tecniques at the furniture scale as well as a successful effort in digital crafting, of going from an entirely digital model to a real tangible piece using CNC technologies in the primary processes.

The flowing deformed surface of the Vice Table evolved from having specific functions into a more universal fluid top with a removable tray for multiple uses. Transitioning smoothly from the wood surface into the cast aluminum tray became the focus of the table and the challenge in fabrication. Every piece was fabricated from the same computer model, making use of the large CNC mill exclusively. The results were extremely accurate and the aluminum-to-wood transition meshed into the seamless table top that was desired.

Two tables were fabricated, one from walnut and another from mahogany. The Vice Table was exhibited in Brooklyn’s “blockparty : art & design in the new urban home” show.
