"This table is made through rapid prototyping (3D printing) of branches that become increasingly more dense at the top to form a planar surface." How would you clean this? Seems like crumbs would tend to get stuck in the surface. - ⓞnor

This is beautiful work. It's a shame that 3D printing material is so expensive, not really practical for mass production. (You could cover the surface in glass or clear acrylic) - Jason Wehmhoener

It would take forever to clean. It has infinite surface area! - Kevin Fox

This sort of thing would be a great test case for RepRap (but don't use hot water to clean your thermoplastic table!). - ⓞnor

@kevin The same thought came to my mind...Infinite surface area - Varun Mahajan

Varun, Kevin, that reminds me of the old philosophical problem: in a race, every person has to cross half the distance before they can reach the end, and then half of that next a distance, and then half again and again.... so how do they ever reach the end? - Nicķ
