Capricorn — Parametric Furniture Collection
Sculptural steel meets precision-crafted hardwood in a configurable contemporary furniture concept.
Original Design & Product Development
Project overview
The Capricorn Table is an original furniture design developed by Rogers Technical Design, combining sculptural steel geometry with the warmth of natural hardwood. The defining feature is its flowing, hourglass-inspired steel pedestal, creating a distinctive architectural profile beneath a clean rectangular tabletop. Developed using parametric CAD modeling, the design explores adaptable dimensions, material combinations, and finishes for multiple furniture applications. The project demonstrates RTD's ability to bring together artistic design, manufacturing knowledge, technical documentation, and photorealistic product visualization.
Design challenge
Create a contemporary furniture design that feels visually distinctive while remaining practical to manufacture and adaptable to different environments.
The design needed to balance sculptural aesthetics, fabrication considerations, material versatility, and dimensional flexibility.
RTD solution
RTD developed the Capricorn concept around a flowing steel pedestal with a continuous sculptural profile.
A parametric modeling approach allows the design to be adapted for different furniture proportions while maintaining its recognizable visual identity.
Design versatility
A configurable furniture concept with proposed applications, not claims of completed manufacturing.
Coffee Table
Low-profile furniture for contemporary living spaces.
Desk
A distinctive workspace combining sculptural design with practical surface area.
Dining Table
An architectural centerpiece adaptable to larger tabletop dimensions.
Console Table
A narrow configuration for entryways, offices, and residential interiors.
Material and finish exploration
Finish studies explore walnut, oak, natural light wood, matte black steel, white, and bronze-toned metal. These variations are conceptual design options rather than manufactured product inventory.
