My goal with this piece was to design a beautiful table that could be easily produced using either bent laminations or injection molding. The basic geometry is derived from a ruled surface that originated from lofting two opposing catenary curves. Aside from scalability, the height can be adjusted by choosing the cutoff level of the geometry of the base.
Regardless of our
Regardless of our "confusion" in the matter, you show no evidence of this wacky shape not being wasteful. I mean, I'd be more lenient if there were actually a product to demonstrate this marvel of physics.
One approach for sheet
One approach for sheet material is illustrated in the following image:

Four profiles complete a table. Since the geometry resolves to a straight line down the center of the table and across the middle, various methods of joining the 'legs' could be used. Many resulting in a seamless solution…
Another approach could be pressed wood fibers:

This approach would give you a product and 'waste' that are biodegradable and recyclable.
It is a designer’s responsibility to be able to not only suggest forms that solve a problem but also to envision various options for materiality and fabrication.

but those pieces are still waste, are they not?
so much waste!! how does
so much waste!! how does this apply to the goal of this site?

The diagram on the left is not intended to show waste but how the table base comes from an overall geometry. I can see how this might be confusing.
