Table Cinderella

Demakersvan (literally “The makers of...”) is a collective of three designers: brothers Jeroen and Joep Verhoeven and Judith de Graauw. This table is the fruit of computer-assisted design and manufacture, based on simplified representations of drawings of 17th- and 18th-century French furniture from the archives of the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam. The computer-generated form was divided into 57 virtual slices, and each of these was then produced from 80 mm plywood using a numerically controlled multi-axial cutter. These slices were then assembled together and glued by hand at the designers’ studio in Rotterdam. The whole consists of 741 layers of ply.
