I’ve loved Star Wars since I first heard a lightsaber hum on the VHS copy my parents wore out, so bringing a slice of that galaxy into my living room felt… inevitable. This piece features a UV-printed Death Star image on an acrylic panel, illuminated from below to give it a 3D holographic effect. In this behind-the-scenes look, I’ll walk you through two key parts of the build: cutting perfect wood circles and routing precise rabbets for the tabletop.

In keeping with this modern style, I wanted the table top to appear to be floating. To achieve this, I designed the table legs to go through the top of the table, exposing the end grain. This allows for the table legs to extend past the threshold of the table top and reinforces the elegance of the profile.
