Raster Side Table

Raster Side Table

Raster Side Table is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the intersection of digital aesthetics and physical craftsmanship, conceived and created by designer Jeffrey A Day. This contemporary side table draws its conceptual foundation from the digital imaging principle of rasterization, where images are built from individual pixels, translating this concept into three-dimensional space through precisely arranged 20mm cubic blocks. Crafted from 19mm bamboo plywood sheets, the table presents a compelling visual narrative of either assembly or dissolution, creating an illusion of blocks either coalescing into or breaking away from a solid form. The piece, measuring 450mm in width, depth, and height, demonstrates exceptional precision in its CNC-routed construction and layer-by-layer assembly process, requiring meticulous attention to detail to achieve seamless integration of components. The design's ecological consciousness is evident in its minimal waste production and use of sustainable bamboo material. This sophisticated interpretation of digital aesthetics in furniture design earned recognition with a Silver A' Design Award in the Furniture Design Category, acknowledging its innovative approach to material usage, aesthetic appeal, and conceptual originality. The table's design challenges traditional furniture aesthetics while maintaining full functionality as a side table, suitable for placement alongside seating furniture in contemporary interior settings.
