Stefan Bassing makes furniture from identical steel rods

Product designer Stefan Bassing has used digital modelling to create a set of tables, made from repetitive elements to simplify the production process. The Table No 1 and No 2 pieces comprise clusters of bent steel tubes. The designer has created each table by first designing a single component — for example a perpendicular rod —which was then used as the prototype to algorithmic-ally generate a set of elements that could be used to build the furniture. After the furniture is created as a digital model, a computer numerically controlled (CNC) bending machine could be used to convert steel rods into parts for use. These would then be assembled by a crafts-person, before being copper plated.
