Aki Hamada Architects presents Floating Wood, a furniture series that applies digital fabrication and embraces natural imperfections.
The project transforms real tree trunks into table legs through 3D scanning and printing to preserve their natural shapes while allowing them to rotate freely.
Each table leg is made from cellulose acetate, a biodegradable material derived from wood fiber and cotton, which naturally decomposes when buried or submerged.
The tabletops are marked with insect-made patterns, repurposing wood that would typically be discarded.
