The design
Frank Lloyd Wright designed this side table in 1908 for the Robie House in Chicago. The kit follows the Cassina reissue, a little larger. Every part fits on a Bambu Lab H2S.
The top and base are four angled bars around a panel, like picture frames.
A threaded rod runs up each corner. Turn the thumbwheel under the top to tighten it. No glue, no tools, and it comes apart again.
The quarter-scale desk model is the older design, with square pegs and friction. It all fits on one print bed.
The shoe rack puts the same corners on three levels. Each shelf holds about three pairs of shoes.
