The Design

About Diagonal Lamesa

Ang Diagonal usa ka lamesa nga gidesinyo palibot sa usa lang ka geometriko nga ideya, ang diagonal nga linya nga nagdugtong sa duha ka atbang nga suok. Ang ibabaw sa lamesa hinimo sa plywood nga may walnut veneer, ug ang sumbanan sa veneer nagsunod sa samang diagonal nga giya. Ang duha ka tindog hinimo sa asero nga adunay powder coated nga hulmahan, ug ang duha ka tindog gibutang sa samang linya. Ang nag-unang istruktural nga bukog gitago sulod sa ibabaw sa lamesa ug nagdala sa gibug-aton pinaagi sa tulo ka mubo nga haligi paingon sa mga tindog. Ang usa ka bevelled nga sidsid ug usa ka gintang taliwala sa ibabaw ug sa mga tindog naghimo sa nawong nga daw naglutaw.

Unique Properties
Diagonal logic was extended to every element and compositional logic of the desk, not only reveals on the layout of walnut veneer of the tabletop, but also applies to structural skeleton that transmits force from the top to stand. Furthermore, the positions of two stands are also aligned to the diagonal guide line of the desktop.
Dimensions & Packaging
Width 850 mm X Length 1700 mm X Height 750 mm

Production Technology
Stand:Steel frame with powder coating surface,
Tabletop of plywood with walnut veneer
Design Challenge
The main structural skeleton was embedded within the tabletop and transmits the force thru three mediated columns to the stand. The skeleton was placed at the center line of the desk and holds up two cross diagonal logic. Then connects to two 90 degree table stands.
Research
The bevel detail of tabletop and the technique to distant stand and tabletop are both meant to lighten upper part of the desk and create a floating illusion.
Inspiration
The concept of table “Diagonal 45” is initiated from the geometric term which is one line segment joins two nonconsecutive vertices. The connection between each vertex not only creates a tension but also draw a frame to form an area. The idea is to use the simplest geometry to establish a steady and sleek structure of a table.
Project Duration
The project was made in Oct 2017
Operation Flow
Void and Solid interaction:
If you stand at the perfect diagonal angle from different side of table, you will be given a total different impression of the desk. One is light as modern steel frame glass building, but from the other angle, the desk will be more like solid concrete building. And of course the view and impression will become various when you walk along the table. The balance between dynamic and static, void and solid are swinging between the diagonal lines.
