Radial Hot Wire

Our intention for the coffee table is to successful replicate a module, based on Evan Douglis’s Displaycase Membrane. We were looking at how a hot wire could excavate foam without milling. We didn’t want a long insubstantial mass, so we looked at how we could provide variety to the table top. This is that exploration. Moving forward, I think we could move from a radial hot wire – to a linear hot wire cutter that can take a profile and stretch it out.
