Interlocking Table combines knowledge extracted from traditional timber joinery and new computational simulation and digital fabrication technologies. Composed of 5 interlocking elements, the table does not require any mechanical fasteners for assembly and disassembly. The cantilevering composition of the table illustrates the creative use of both geometry and material to withstand structural loads. The highlight of the table is the two legs with wood grain-like patterns, which are fully printed using a Multi-Material 3D printer.
