Applications
Furniture - Public spaces and shop elements
Customizable indoor elements, such as tables, for domestic and/or commercial environments, i.e., shops and public spaces.
This 3D model is a scaled version of BAAM(M), a customizable shop table or coffee table. The original concept has been developed during the Master Thesis in Design & Engineering of Martina Paramatti (Politecnico di Milano).
