Wishbone Table by Felipe Escudero

Today we are proud to share this very cool project coinceived as a sinergy between tradition and new technology, perfectly translated by Felipe Escudero into an Andean carpentry which meets cutting-edge fabrication. Its name is Wishbone.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Conceived to sit 8 people, the wishbone table combines a futuristic smooth shape with code-generated texture where the table joins with the glass top.

Its three-fold legs are topologically designed to use a minimum amount of wood to support a heavy glass-top and to look like the table is caressing the floor.

Built in Quito – Ecuador in 2015, this project incorporates Andean wood and carpentry knowledge with latest modelling and numerically controlled milling techniques.

The table was designed in 4 symmetrical parts and milled in 13 parts that come together using local joining techniques for Seike wood.

This results in a singular piece that aesthetically weaves between an old primitive object and a futuristic organic design.
