Tables are usually created with a pretty standard (albeit tried and true) design--one solid piece of wood held by four solid wooden legs. Well, designer Emiliano Godoy must have been bored by that, so he created the ‘Drip Table.’
The ‘Drip Table’ by Emiliano Godoy is created using many small pieces of wood to create a table with legs that show off the different heights of the wood. The table was made as a suggestion for combating forest thinning, with the idea being that small trees could be used instead of large ones, which take much more time to be regrown.
