The XYZ furniture series is a collection designed and produced from 12mm plywood through precise CNC milling. Originating from the question of how modern digital tools can be used with the sensibility of traditional craftsmanship, the series explores the dialogue between technology and handcraft.
XYZ furniture series
How can we use technology well to think like makers?
From these parameters we made a series of furniture by means of a CNC milling machine as our tool. All share the same miter construction which is scalable according to the needs. We translate the old miter joint with a computer-controlled milling machine. This machine is milling all the connections with only one milling tool, a 45 degree chamfer mill. When the machine is done we have the layout of our furniture, from there we fold every piece together to form the furniture.
It’s made out of one miter joint, one mono material and one production method.
By working with a mono material, the recycling process is simplified and our dependence on suppliers is also limited even as the supply chain. With our technique we can make a solid looking piece of furniture out of sheet material. By using this method we work very efficiently and only have a little over 4% waste material.
