israeli designer oron ohayon has sent in images of his project 'MDFO', experimenting
with MDF and hot water. he produced 3 pieces of furniture that are made from MDF,
wrapped with a flexible coating that swells with the board. the table legs were inserted
into the table board corners then dipped in hot water. both the chest and shelves were
produced using the same technique.

dislike the design.
i cant judge the aestheitcs, but i dislike mdf for its creep and swelling behavior. i guess the table as well as the long shelf will look like shit (cuz they will bend) after a few years using them. and if u spill water on that stuff - best thing to do is throw it away, no repairing possible.
