Sample, Starling table
This is a Sample. It was designed by Joris Laarman Lab.

The Starling Table, inspired by starling murmurations, captures a moment in flight of 25,000 simulated starlings. Laarman and his team used computer graphic artist Craig Reynolds' boids algorithm to generate the form, which was fabricated using a stereo lithography printer. This sample shows a section of the print.
