About U Taula auxiliar

U és una taula auxiliar sostinguda per dues estructures metàl·liques en forma d'U. La base encreuada forma diverses àrees triangulars que aporten estabilitat i un ritme visual clar. Els dos tubs en forma d'U s'uneixen mitjançant cargols col·locats en posicions ocultes per aconseguir un aspecte polit. La superfície de la taula és de fusta natural de cirerer, i l'estructura metàl·lica s'ofereix en diferents colors. La taula auxiliar mesura 440 per 440 per 480 mil·límetres. La forma compacta i lleugera és fàcil de moure i s'adapta a espais petits, per sostenir tasses, llibres i objectes decoratius.

Production Technology: Aside from an eye-pleasing appeal, the U-shaped structures give priority to stability and have been verified by stability and center of gravity tests. Two U-shaped tubes are connected by screws, which are hidden in covert positions for a neat look. Boasting a simple design and compact size, this side table is lightweight and easy to move, making it an ideal replacement for a bulky coffee table as well as a chic sidekick to your sofa or armchair for small spaces.
Design Challenge: Minimal screws, balance of side table, structure of two U-shaped round tubes, proportional relationship.
Research: It’s a side table supported by U shaped structures.
Inspiration: When you are sitting on the balcony and want a cup of coffee or a book, is it particularly convenient and pleasant to have a side table next to it? It was in this situation that I considered designing an elegant side table.
Project Duration: Design project completion time: October 10, 2020,
location: Zhengzhou, China
Operation Flow: In terms of materials, the designer took advantage of the features of metal, bending and forming at once, and takes consideration of the position and proportional relationship between the big U and small U structures to meet both stability and beauty. The table top is crafted of natural cherry wood, offering a handy landing spot for water glasses, books, and decorations. Paired with a metal frame with different colors available, this side table meets the preferences of various customer groups. With so many characteristics in one side table, it finds the balance between art and utility.
