Y-Table
The Y-Table is not a finished object. It is a customizable workstation that is CNC fabricated, built
only on-demand to help resolve the common creative questions of its users. As a sustainable
approach, it is a customizable idea designed to facilitate specific production processes while
keeping material excess to a minimum. The Y-Table always keeps its distinctive three-partite
form, but its dimensions and surface-features vary from use to use, from site to site.
The Y-Table [Anxious Prop version] It was originally conceived by The Anxious Prop for its “Case 3: The Black Swan Issue” at Salon Populaire, Berlin in 2010.
