About Coastline Tafel
Coastline is 'n tafel geïnspireer deur die stygende seevlakke wat deur global warming veroorsaak word. Die tafelblad is gemaak van akriel, ook bekend as PMMA, en word deur hoëtemperatuurverhitting gevorm om helder seewater voor te stel. Die ondersteunende struktuur is gemaak van michelia compressa en den, en die hout verteenwoordig die hoogte van berge. Harde hout is gekies sodat die struktuur nie tydens verhitting sou vervorm nie. Die ongelyke rand herroep 'n kuslyn wat deur die see uitgeslyt is, en die materiaalkombinasie laat lig in lae daardeur beweeg. Die tafel meet 350 mm in breedte, 650 mm in diepte en 500 mm in hoogte.

Liquid acrylic color grading is also one of the big challenges. It takes a lot of time for each test to get the best color and transmittance. - Inspiration
