The Design

About Coastline Bord

Book Text: Coastline er et bord inspireret af de stigende havniveauer forårsaget af global opvarmning. Bordpladen er lavet af akryl, også kendt som PMMA, og er formet ved høj temperaturopvarmning for at antyde klart havvand. Den understøttende struktur er lavet af michelia compressa og fyrretræ, og træet repræsenterer bjergenes højde. Der blev valgt hårdt træ, så strukturen ikke ville deformere under opvarmningen. Den ujævne kant minder om en kystlinje eroderet af havet, og materialekombinationen lader lys trænge igennem i lag. Bordet måler 350 mm i bredden, 650 mm i dybden og 500 mm i højden.

Unique Properties: The clearness of the sea is represented by liquid acrylic, and the height of the mountain is mainly wood, creating a combination of different materials that echoes the light of the layers.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 350 mm x Depth 650 mm x Height 500 mm
Tags: A Global warming, B Sea-level rise, C Art, D Table
Production Technology: The table top is mainly made of PMMA, and the table is mainly made of michelia compressa and Pine.
Design Challenge: Liquid acrylic material is selected as the table top. Liquid acrylic shaping requires high-temperature heating. Therefore, hard wood is selected so that it will not deform during heating.
Considering the above, in the end, the desktop wood is chosen to use the hard texture Michelia compressa wood.
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: Taking the rising sea level caused by global warming as the starting point, the coastline was eroded by the seawater and showed an uneven appearance, making the table more layered.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2017 in Taiwan. And finished in June 2017 in Taiwan. And was exhibited in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in June 2017. For the second time in Taipei Pavilion of fashion in November 2019.
Operation Flow: This is a table with good light transmission and beauty.
