Union is a coffee table that re-imagines what coming together around furniture could look like in a post-COVID world. As COVID has affected global supply chains, now more than ever we see the importance in our local design community and fostering the resources we have available at our doorstep.

Every part of the coffee table is made locally in the designer’s hometown Canberra, taking advantage of modern manufacturing techniques available to him.

The leg bases of the table are crafted from recycled PET (plastic bottles) which have been 3D printed using a custom 6-axis industrial robot fitted with a plastic extruder, developed in-house at the University of Canberra.
