For each table, less than 100 sections of pipe were assembled to form each table such that it reached a height of 42” and a weight less than 75 lbs. The individual stock pieces were welded according to a folding logic inspired by oragami techniques. Using the 3 custom jigs, unique V-shaped angled components were fashioned. Those components were then slotted into one another via the jig’s spacing system to reach the desired height. The two part process produced 3 different spiraling towers of steel that were then capped with a piece of custom cut glass to fit the geometry of the top most plane.
The tables were designed for and featured in Angles of Incidence in Köln, Germany (2012), and were also featured at the Nigeria House during the Summer Olympics in London 2012.
