A screen that stands on slot-together feet

The panel is a single part: a rectangle with generously rounded corners whose bottom edge steps upwards in the middle. That gap is the pass-through — for the card, the receipt, the goods. It was not sawn out afterwards; it belongs to the same contour the laser runs in one pass.

The panel is carried by two feet, and those are the actual design. Each foot is two triangles slotted crosswise into one another; a further slot takes the panel. One triangle holds it upright, the other stands across and stops it tipping. No hinge, no bracket, no screw — the joint is the geometry.

That construction is deliberate, because a piece like this has to survive being shipped. Packed flat it is five parts: the panel and four triangles. Slotted together, the structure all but disappears — against the black backdrop of these shots what you mostly see are the cut edges, guiding the light.
