Table 01 is an iteration of the Earthish research agenda, which aims to interrogate the potential use of crumb rubber from recycled rubber tires within architecture and design through the juxtaposition of precise manufacturing techniques with non-linear casting operations. Table 1 is made entirely out of crumb rubber recycled from rubber tires in Sharjah, UAE, mixed with a bio-resin.

Precise CNC-routed molds are used to defie the overall formal language, while the chemical reaction between crumb rubber, liquid binder and paint pigment affects both surface type as well as surface hardness. For example, on the sides where the crumb rubber is constrained by the surface of the molds, the materials interact to create a non-linear flat surface. However, on the free top end, different mixtures allow for different expressions that range from a pillow-like form and hardness to almost natural crystalline.

These different surface conditions, as well as the ability to create different hardnesses, allow for the development of a formal language that includes both fluid and platonic surfaces. For example, this can be seen by how the solid square legs integrate with the softwer cloud-like form of the table top.
