The Collate Table emphasizes craft within modern fabrication techniques. Inspired by process art, the piece celebrates how something is made is as equally important as the outcome. The cellular shape of the tabletop allows CNC toolpaths to create a playful pattern on the surface. This millwork not only gives insights into the fabrication technique, but also creates an interesting dialogue as someone walks around the piece. The table treats the aluminum plate as the canvas and the toolpaths act as the brushstrokes.
Alex Brokamp’s practice focuses on bridging a technically refined aesthetic with a lighthearted simplicity that aims to produce objects that are strangely familiar rather than simply mysterious. He studied Industrial Design at the University of Cincinnati and received a master’s degree in Furniture and Lighting Design at Art Center College of Design.
