Voronoi Table

  • "I'm particularly interested in complex geometries, the wall panel and coffee table we've developed for Davide Silvestri is an example of a Voronoi  tessellation ," noted John Beckmann of the New York design firm - Axis Mundi.

When you look at a giraffe's fur you’ll see a collection of irregular brown spots that fit together like puzzle pieces. The delicate veins on a dragonfly’s wings also outline a puzzle-like collection of irregular translucent cells. All these natural patterns may be modeled with a mathematical technique known as a Voronoi tessellation.

The partitioning of a plane with  points into convex polygons such that each polygon contains exactly one generating point and every point in a given polygon is closer to its generating point than to any other. 

    Voronoi diagrams were considered as early as 1644 by René Descartes and were used by Dirichlet (1850) in the investigation of positive quadratic forms. They were also studied by Voronoi (1907), who extended the investigation of Voronoi diagrams to higher dimensions. They find widespread applications in areas such as computer graphics, epidemiology, geophysics, and meteorology. [1] Wikipedia.

  • The Voronoi technique which is used to forge this table is a staple of the new Silvestri. Our craftsmen can replicate this design in any form. So perhaps you would like this table in a different size… Maybe you’d like it in an entirely different shape… Maybe you would like it as a fireplace, molding, or wall cladding. The choice is yours, all you have to do is ask.
