About Humming Tree Eettafel
Humming Tree is 'n eettafel wat ook as 'n vloervaas dien. Die sentrale opening huisves lang droë of vars blomme, blare en boomtakke. Die vorm is geïnspireer deur die pylpuntvorm van die Taro-blaar, met sy nerf, are en skoon lem. Die blaarstruktuur is verdeel in twee dele, 'n vellaag en 'n beenlaag, en die blaarvorm verskyn waar die twee lae oorvleuel. Die tafel is vervaardig van polikarbonaat en staal en meet 1400 by 950 by 750 millimeter. Die deursigtige ontwerp bring natuurlike elemente nader aan eters in stedelike huise.

Press Kit
- Unique Properties
- Humming Tree is a fusion of dining table and floor vase to hold tall dry or fresh flowers, leaves and tree branches. City life has become mentally exhausting and contact with Nature has become less. The intent is to let the diners experience natural elements arranged in the vase and this will help in reducing stress and negative feelings as they dine. It is a see through design with leaf structure split into two distinct Skin and Bone components. The leaf form becomes apparent when they overlap.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Overall Dimension (l x b x h) : 1400 mm x 950 mm x 750 mm
Dining Area : 1100 mm x 950 mm - Tags
- Leaf inspired, veins and blade, Taro Leaf, Vase Table, cantilevered table, see through design
- Production Technology
- Polycarbonate, steel
- Research
- Benefits of experiencing Nature and natural elements were studied and also the leaf structure of Taro leaf was studied for better understanding while developing the form.
- Inspiration
- Humming Tree is inspired from arrow head shape Taro leaf structure. Taro leaf collects water at its center spot and has distinct midrib and veins structure with clean blade and this inspired me to develop the leaf form into two distinct layers overlapping above each other and elongate and deepen the centre spot till the floor to function as floor vase.
- Operation Flow
- The dining table with collection/arrangement in the center spot is a strong stimulus to the diners since the scale is larger than conventional vases kept at the center of table. The human sized arrangement of natural dry/fresh flower, leaves and branches will help in restoring the mind and evoking positive thoughts.
