Individual pieces of the three-layer cardboard are cut using CNC cutter.

The cardboard slats measure only 40mm with horizontal length of over 1500 mm.

The cardboard structure, side showing the three layers of it, is used in the way to generate the see through surface of the desk. Some of the slats have additional pocket designed to store a laptop or similar shaped objects.
