BUNBUN

A table that is based on the concept of "tying things together".
For example, horizontal and vertical, traditional craftspeople and CAD/CAM, and so on. This little table was designed to create value in new ways by bringing together differing elements. For the whirlpool-like legs, materials were cut in reference to data, and then varnished, and and the table was hand-crafted by an artisan, who then put the finishing touches on it. The legs were finished off in a way that truly ties together the designer, the craftsperson and the person who will make use of the table.
