Corail Round Dining Table

With the CORAIL table, Roche Bobois achieved a world first in furniture in 2020: a base made of concrete using a 3D printer, which is customizable (one can not only choose its shape and size but also apply a weaving effect wherever desired, watching the result live). In a continuous movement from bottom to top, the digitally controlled nozzle of the giant 3D printer, a marvel of technology, deposits a snake of concrete that hardens as it layers, then over 20 days. With its shape reminiscent of polypore mushrooms embedded in trees, corals on their reef, or huge baroque shells, Corail is primarily a superb object inspired by the beauty of natural imperfection, and which allows the imagination of its adopter to run free.
