Swarm behavior is the collective motion of a large number of self-propelled entities. It is an emergent behavior arising from simple rules that are followed by individuals and does not involve any central coordination.
This project uses swarm behavior to generate a pattern of geometry in order to create a frame for a table top. The legs extrude down from the top, in harmony with its strong geometry.
Three separate tables come together to form multiple configurations for different uses of this table. Combining a desk, small table, and long table gives way for more possible configurations.
The frame is a milled piece of plywood, with 2mm wood triangular inserts, that rest in the holes of the frame, flush with the surface. The absence of certain triangular pieces gives another function to the table, where wires and electricals can be tucked away underneath.
