LONDON DESIGN WEEK: Formtank’s Stunning 2d3d Tables
by Kate Andrews
We can’t wait for this year’s London Design Festival, and we’re excited to announce that London-based furniture design company Formtank will be launching a series of sustainable table designs at 100% Design next week! Using a single sheet of industrial steel in the most efficient way possible, these cutting-edge “2d3d” tables are constructed to maximize yield while minimizing waste to less than 4% per linear meter.
Capable of carrying a considerable load, the volume of each table’s base is just ¼ of the volume of the glass it supports. Formtank’s 2d3d tables are manufactured by CAD/CAM technology and once cut, the steel is hand formed and finished. All Formtank products are manufactured in the UK.
If you are in London between the 18-21 September, you can see Formtank’s furniture at stand H94 at 100% Design, Earls Court.

These designs look like they waste a lot of material for their leg design considering that a Parson style table is the most economical materialwise. You might celebrate the design but, please, not the unefficient use of material.
