The photo shows the Parametric Bench A-7 model we just finished in the shop. My goal was to create not just a functional piece of furniture, but a sculptural aesthetic that stands out even in luxury spaces.

I kept the assembly logic highly practical; no messy glue-ups or complex hidden screws—you just stack the layers using threaded rods and nuts.

Quick Tech Notes:

• Material & Thickness: I designed this for 12mm (1/2") material. It works beautifully with raw MDF, veneered MDF, solid wood, or plywood. It's also very suitable for painting. (You can also cut it using 18mm / 3/4" material; the overall depth of the bench will just increase slightly).

• Production Time: Takes about 1 hour of cut time on the CNC.

• Dimensions & Nesting: I prepared the files in 3 different sizes (Small, Medium, Large) and included both Metric (MM) and Imperial (Inch) versions so makers around the world can easily cut it. The one in the photo is the Large version, nested on 4 standard sheets (1220x2440mm / 48x96").

What wood grain or paint color do you think would suit this shape best? I’d love to hear your thoughts, as well as the bits and cutting strategies you’d use for a piece like this in the comments.

Happy making!

Following the incredible response and viral success of our first A-1 model, we are thrilled to unveil the next chapter in our digital fabrication collection: the Parametric Wall Shelf A-2.

You loved the seamless, organic flow of our first design, so we decided to push the boundaries of parametric modeling even further. The result is a bold, dynamic new form that transforms an ordinary wall into a captivating focal point.

A Bold New Silhouette: Dynamic Levels and Deep Shadows

While the A-2 model shares the same DNA as the A-1—utilizing precisely cut ribs to create a mesmerizing 3D effect—it introduces a striking new silhouette.

The A-2 features a dramatic, sweeping "V" curve that breaks the traditional horizontal line. This asymmetrical dip not only enhances the natural shadow play but also creates distinct, multi-level display zones. It is the perfect stage for your favorite decor items, sculptures, or ambient lighting, blending sculptural art with practical functionality.

Complex Look, Seamless Production

Don't let the intricate curves intimidate you. Just like its predecessor, the A-2 is engineered for straightforward, optimized manufacturing. We’ve done the heavy lifting in the digital design phase so you can enjoy a flawless physical build.

Whether you are a seasoned professional or running a small garage workshop, producing this piece is incredibly simple:

1. Cutting: Load your MDF sheets into your CNC Router. Our files come with pre-arranged nesting pages to minimize material waste and save machining time.

2. Surface Finishing: A high-quality primer and a topcoat of your choice are all you need. As showcased in our latest render, a deep anthracite finish perfectly accentuates the depth and shadows of the parametric ribs.

3. Assembly: The meticulously engineered parts slide together logically and flawlessly.

We recently shared the first prototype photos of our new Parametric Wall Shelf A-1 on Reddit, and frankly, the response was overwhelming! In a very short time, the post reached over 101,000 views, 330+ upvotes, and dozens of engaging comments.

Seeing this design evolve from a digital algorithm into a physical form—and receiving such positive feedback from the community—has been an incredible journey. Today, we want to dive deeper into the design process and explain how you can bring this piece into your own space.

The Intersection of Aesthetics and Function: Why Parametric?

Parametric design offers an aesthetic that goes far beyond traditional furniture. For the A-1 Wall Shelf, we envisioned an organic, wavy flow inspired by natural topographies.

The true magic of this design lies in the natural shadow play it creates. Depending on the time of day or the angle of your room's lighting, the structural ribs produce shifting shadows that turn the shelf into a living piece of modern art on your wall.

The Production Process: Simpler Than It Looks!

One of the most common questions on Reddit was: "How hard is it to build this?" While the result looks complex and high-end, the production process is actually extremely simple and optimized.

We have rigorously tested the prototype in our workshop. The result: The physical output perfectly matches the digital project. Zero errors.

Step-by-Step Production

You don't need master-level carpentry skills to produce this shelf. A standard CNC Router is more than enough.

1. Cutting: The files are provided in ready-to-use nesting pages to minimize material waste. Simply load your MDF sheet onto the CNC and start cutting.

2. Surface Finishing (Primer & Paint): A quality primer followed by a topcoat in your color of choice will give it that premium, smooth look. As seen in our prototype, dark tones like anthracite or charcoal grey highlight the shadow play beautifully.

3. Assembly: Assemble the pieces in the designated order. Thanks to precise engineering, the parts fit together seamlessly.

Build It in Your Workshop: Manufacturing Plans Now Available!

Following the massive interest, we’ve decided to make the digital manufacturing files available for designers, hobbyists, and professional makers worldwide.

I optimized this design for a zero-headache assembly. Parts fit perfectly right off the machine on the first try. Zero errors.
MDF thickness is 18mm. The interlocking slot gaps are set to 18.4mm
Note to self: It’s perfect as-is, but if I’m going to apply primer + paint, I need to increase the cutting offset tolerance in the software by an extra 0.2-0.3mm. So, making the slots around 18.8-19mm would be ideal to compensate for the paint thickness.

From digital algorithms to physical form.

The first prototype of our new parametric wall shelf is successfully assembled in the workshop. The natural shadow play and the organic flow of the structural ribs turned out exactly as engineered. Precision CNC cutting meets raw material.

Full build video and digital manufacturing files are coming soon.
