Product Design Student Work: Dowel-Based Modelmaking Workbench

This small workbench, apparently designed for modelmaking, was created by carpenter François-Alexandre Monfort while pursuing his Masters in Product Design at France’s École Nationale Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs (ENSAD).

I wish there was more detail provided about the piece, as it seems quite interesting and purpose-built, but we’re left to decipher what we can see. There is a tiny vice for holding small items, a secondary table that pulls out to the right to create more table space, and that intriguing black sling; in one photo it appears to be used for capturing wood shavings.

Monfort has also designed small, easily movable tool-holding trays that are supported by the dowels.

Beyond that, there’s no practical information about the piece itself. Monfort, if you’re reading this, s'il vous plaît contactez-nous et parlez-nous de votre travail en détail!
