Abstract<\/strong>: <\/strong>The innovation process consists here in not designing tables but a software that designs infinite number of models of table with a standardized production process. Randomness is put at the hearth of design process.<\/p>\n

The computer code creates lots of possible random variations, but the final defining pre-production choices are still made by humans. This is then integrated in a mass-production process: taking into account the specifications of parameters like height, depth, width and load capacity, these computer-generated cutting patterns and associated processing information orchestrate computer controlled laser cutters and bending machines, and seamlessly materialize three-dimensional corpuses.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Driver\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Social<\/p>\n

Growing trends of personalized\/customised objects. Here, each table is different and unique\u2026<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Technological<\/p>\n

A specific algorithm is the way all the process is possible\/ lazer cutting technologies widely spread.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Economic \/ Industrial<\/p>\n

According to the creators of breading tables, the project \u2013 completely outsourced process \u2013 is the best way to face fully integrated mass production to reduce costs (e.g. China model)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Design \/ Art<\/p>\n

This method brings unpredictability and novelty to the field. Human choices and discernements are still a relatively big part<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Indication<\/strong><\/p>\n

Potential \u201cinnovation wild card\u201d<\/p>\n

It represents a “first time”, in the \u201coutsourced\u201d design process of product in its ability to spread its philosophy to the production and acceptance of the resulting product.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Sector specifics \/ cultural specifics<\/strong><\/p>\n

This weak signal is specific to furniture design, potentially applicable to any kind of object production and customization.<\/p>\n
