Maple & Walnut Tabletops for AVANDI

Through her Brooklyn-based studio AVANDI, Ariane van Dievoet designs and manufactures furniture, home goods and jewelry “inspired by sustainable solutions and modular systems.” According to Ariane, her designs are “honest and sophisticated” which she attributes to her Belgian roots. We were asked to fabricate a few elements for her studio using our laser cutting and CNC routing capabilities.

For this project, the “AdapTable” side table, we were asked to fabricate the solid maple and walnut panels that form the surface of the table. While the table is flat on top, the wood slopes towards one end underneath revealing the edge and end grains of the hardwood along the sides of the table. With the flat surface down, we were able to use the CNC router to form the sloping underside of the panels. Designed to be used either individually or in clusters to form larger coffee tables, holes cut into the corners of the panels facilitate the assembly and swapping of the powder-coated steel legs that come in a variety of heights and colors.
