... working on different concepts to reach the height of a table ...

the bottom part of the object is developed by the spinal b-spline curve. It is stable by its own. You don't need to connect it statically with other objects.
the middle part represents the "coffee-coup-area" and the delaminted "hill" for the screen. The single areas are also divided by the spinal curve...
The top part is the protection-layer for the specific area where the screen is fixed.

the different arrangements in 3D...
Because of the same angles and distances within the construction points of the fractal it is possible to arrange the basic geometry in various different formations.
Here are just a view of them...

After failing with the previous tessellation, I decided to focus on a more promising fractal structure, called the Peano-Gosper-Curve. Because of its regular geometry it is possible to use it for various different combinations & patterns.
The main idea was to create a three-dimensional object related to the basic fractal curve using cubic b-spline approximations.
Via rhino-script, I found a curve which divides the surface into two similar parts. This curve works like a spinal structure through all the three parts of the object.
