Terribly ugly, but I suppose every innovation has to start somewhere. Who knows, someone may refine this and it may become all the rage like those epoxy river tables that are all over youtube and instagram.

There’s already a name for that style. Garbage.

Anything that gets people to pick up trash is good in my book.

So basically it's the heat shrinking electricians use with recycled material. Very cool re purposing. I also think she wasn't trying to make it look nice. She wanted to show her ability to use all kinds of cast off materials to make functional furniture.

It would likely fit right in with the cable spool tables and cinder block book and record shelves many college students used back in the '60s & '70s.

The concept is actually quite brilliant. I have to try that at some point to see of solid they are, I can't think of a use for it now but one never knows.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.

Not pretty but maybe a way to make knick down furniture or such.

Brilliant. I look forward to the second part of this when someone finds a way to make it cleverly aesthetic.

Went to my X-brother in laws exhibition at the RCA, I see not much has changed.

Looks functional and innovative. However, it's definitely not the kind of style that I'd like to try or have around me.

Wood moves, so I expect that those joints will either shrink and loosen or expand and crack. Wooden joinery has been around for longer than civilization because it works well, wood moves with wood so long as their rate of movement are in the same direction and similar. That is the reason why Egyptian furniture still exists and why the Forbidden city’s many temples do not wobble and fall over.
Bumbling forward into the unknown.
