The idea itself is so ghetto that making it not look like shit would be a decent accomplishment.
It doesn't even look good. It represents perfectly just how bland and tasteless everything is nowadays. Electronics are like that as well. It seems like paying a shitload of money for something that even a poor person wouldn't want in the past is the current trend. The smart thing to do is to go against that and buy old furniture that some idiot doesn't want for some reason. Even if it's not in perfect shape, it's not that hard to restore.
If you don't care whether or not your furniture looks bland or like shit, fuck wood, just use plastic instead. I have dirt cheap plastic shelves that cost me less than 5 bucks each. They are light as hell, easy to disassemble and have been doing the job perfectly well for years. Especially great to have if you move a lot for some reason. Plastic tables should be fine too if you don't give a shit about aesthetics. A lot more convenient than real furniture, that's for sure.

Seems like a cheap way to build customized furniture especially if you can get a source of scrap cutoff pieces. And the text can be easily removed in seconds with acetone. For actual plumbing maybe. For structural strength you could join them drilling a countersunk hole to be filled with a two part 3d printed pin using a nut and bolt, makes a strong connection that's easy to assemble and disassemble. It's the overall shape that's important in this case so with a decent cheap covering that's easy to remove and clean or replace nobody would know it's built out of PVC pipe.
That furniture is hideous. It looks cheap and tacky. "Minimalism" doesn't mean "cheap-looking shit that can barely support 20 Kg without wobbling around." I see the same thing with IKEA shit and I always wonder: why is it so popular? Yes, it's cheaper, but a lot of people that can afford other stuff still buy their shit.
Nigger, do you know what the average look of "scrap cutoff pieces" is? It's usually yellowed from sun exposure and scratched from dirt exposure. It doesn't look good enough for your shitty furniture. >wants to use fucking 3d printed nuts and bolts Plastic threads are usually shitty quality and low strength compared to metal, even when they're designed and manufactured properly. Faggots like you who 3d-print threaded fasteners get what they deserve. It isn't. Prove me wrong and post pics if you want to change my mind.

The 3d printed part of the pin would be using a metal nut and bolt embedded inside the 3d part. It's a common practice so I may not have explained it well.
And I'd rather talk about open source furniture using common materials than waste my time trying to change your mind. You can do a search for PVC pipe on instructables to see hundreds of projects that use it.

sounds like hipster bullshit to me. why would you want some shitty piece of literal trash made of dirty plastic tubes instead of a nice wooden desk that you can also build yourself? lel

What the fuck do you think you're doing? THe white balance wasn't off at all - all you did was adjust the saturation and contrast to make the table a completely different colour
