Cutting Edge: Futuristic Laser-Cut Designs

A method once used for industrial production is presently helping designers conceptualize everything from seats to curtains. Laser cutting results in clean, contemporary lines and fragile forms that produce a lasting impression and a graphic statement. Together with lace-inspired patterns made out of fabric, acrylic, metal and wood, these cutouts are definitely not your grandmother’s doilies.
