Lossless Coffee Table Cragelmeyer.jpg

This table uses exactly 1/3rd of a sheet of plywood minus the width of the blade that cuts it out. In researching designs that efficiently use plywood, I found mainly rectilinear pieces dominated by the original 'sheet stock' 4'x8' format. Here shapes are created from an offset rectangle within another rectangle to reveal flowing overlap and intersection escaping, to an extent, the sheet stock form. The material used here is 7/8" Plyboo, but it can be produced using any sheet stock with a few minor adjustments to the design. At 43" by 25" by 16", the resulting curvilinear form makes the most of one third of a sheet and is ample size to fill out a living room.
Thanks for looking.

If you had asked my to

If you had asked my to design a table where all the parts were to be cut from a rectangular piece of plywood I would have said it would never produce an attractive design. You have shown that it is indeed possible to do so. I am inspired. Good job thinking inside the box.

Cool table. My friends all
