Multi-Material 3D-Printed Tables

The 'Star' Coffee Table is Made with Wood, Nylon and Glass

— September 19, 2019 — Art & Design
The 'Star' coffee table from Imprime-moi un mouton is the design work of Line Pierron and combines several materials in order to achieve a high-end furniture piece that's perfect for living or working spaces. The table features a wooden frame that has been paired with intricate 3D-printed components for the base that is visible through the top glass section. The furniture piece draws design inspiration from the art of marquetry, which makes it more like a work of art than just a table.

The 'Star' coffee table is a limited-edition furniture piece that comes signed and number from the company to further enhance the artistic nature of the unit. The table is priced at €3166 and can be purchased directly from the brand.
