How was it made? The Fractal Table | V&A

Designed in 2007, the Fractal Table's complex, interlocking structure is based on the distinctive branching form of the dragon tree. The design was created first as a computer model – using mathematical formulas to replicate this tree's repeating, 'fractal' branch structure. The table was then manufactured over a period of several days using a digital 3D printing process controlled by a computer.
