Thinking of how hand-thrown pottery often warps slightly as it is fired in a kiln, I created a unique process that distorts the initial intended perimeter shape of these small end tables at random within a certain range. Through the creative development and use of generative algorithms, I am intentionally leaving the door open for a bit of chance to seep into the digital design and fabrication process.
