Is this a render or a physical object?

It's a physical object 🙂

This might sound silly, but your table looks like one I've seen in Fallout 4 (but with a drawer) and which I've kinda wanted to have for a while

This piece is absolutely stellar! If I were a wealthier person I'd make you an offer right now. I hope that you either do this for a living or enjoy it as a hobby, because you've got the right eye and the right talent.

Completely worth taking your time on this sort of thing, I've never stopped to comment on any projects like this before, but this thing is so freaking gorgeous I had to.
You have a remarkable skill, keep it up.

Are you familiar with the mid-century furniture (particularly the desks) designed by Vladimir Kagan? If not, take a look. I think you'll like what you see.

Is this actually constructed of wood, or is this a render of a concept? Either way it's damn fine.

u/thorgrimur Feb 07 '20
A few people have asked me that now. Not sure how you would render something like this. I don't know anything about 3d work but I do know hot to take decent photos. But yea this is the actual piece, made from wood 🙂

u/MikeMac999 Feb 07 '20
It really does look like a render. I believe you that it isn’t but it has that almost too-perfect look of the novice 3d designer.
2
u/thorgrimur Feb 07 '20
Probably the lighting. But idþf you zoom a bit in you probably see that this is actual wood 🙂
1
u/Jerrshington Feb 07 '20
Usually they use something like cinema 4d, or for more technical, implementable things Rhino. Basically, whenever you look at some furniture on a site like Steelcase or Ikea, it's never a photo, rather a render which has been made 100% to spec. That's why you can see furniture images that are 100% identical except for maybe a different wood for legs or different upholstery. Plus, rhino designs can be used with CNCs it 3d printers. The fact that you stayed your image so well it looks like a rendering is a good thing. It means we don't see errors, and your photo studio is immaculate.

u/NewWaveArch90 Feb 08 '20
it has a very late 90s look, inspired by a melding of scandinavian modernism and 1970s ultra-modernism with the overall form + wood grain

This is phenomenal I'm so impressed.
Would you mind sharing how you attached the legs to the body?
Keep it up!!!

u/thorgrimur Mar 25 '23
The four legs are made up of two whole arches of 25mm plywood. There are two braces between them which you don't see and this is all fastened to the bottom of the table with wood screws

How did you form the curved sides? Please tell me you have build photos!

u/Treebeater55 Feb 07 '20
Looks like a render. But steaming can do this but you'd need a very large steamer and clamping jig. Or as the side trim suggests is the idea.it could be pieced together then laminated

u/booyahFF Feb 07 '20
it's not

Could be kerf cut too? The fact that the other faces have the same grain makes me think the original veneer looks like that (like bamboo). Though they could have gone through the trouble of slicing and regluing the flat faces together to match.

I could do this pretty easily. I have the capability here tomake this from solid and bend it. It just looks like a render from the background not having any wall floor line

I would love to see progress pictures of how you created this. I looks like it’s made from multiple cut layers of wood that are glued together? However you made it, this is a beautiful table!

u/daringescape Feb 08 '20
Can you explain a bit of the process for this? Did you use layers of this plywood or do a kerf bend? Where is the seam? etc. I am very curious, and would like to attempt something like this, but I am not sure where to start!
I did a quick google search and saw this video, which looks like a cool way to do this.

What are the dimensions? It looks cool, but, I would never buy something that looks like it has such little storage.

u/i-am-a-platypus Feb 08 '20
If this is an actual physical world piece (it's possible I guess) then you are masterful in your woodwork! ... but there will only one of these in the world due to the amount of time one would need to craft this vs the price you could possibly sell it for.
A couple of big questions would be why not make the leg system as awesome as the rest as that's the easy part to really add value? They currently look like painted MDF. The other question would be why go through the immense effort to veneer the inner parts when this would add a level of difficulty that would make this piece unproduceable on more than a one-off? Bending a decent veneer around those curves is no small feat as well and why nobody will be seeing a similar piece for sale anytime soon unless the "veneer" is like wallpaper which might pop in a photo and look super cheap in person.

whats its purpose? I mean, the storage space seems too low to be practical

It's a coffee table. The storage space is on par with most coffee tables since there's also a usable shelf of sorts next to the drawer.

u/leesfer Feb 07 '20
Not too difficult to do it the way this one was done. It's sheets of plywood cut into a loop, then many of them glued together.
If you want to get fancier, you can do it with a vacuum press and a mold to wrap sheets of plywood around it.
