The Design

About Arc Sofabord

Arc er et sofabord designet til nutidige boligmiljøer. Arc er fremstillet af asketræ, formet ved lamineret bukning. Tre buede strimler samles for at danne en rundet, tredimensionel trekantet struktur. Hver strimmel forbindes til de to andre, så der er behov for fire samlinger på hver strimmel, og hver vinkel skal skæres præcist. Bordet måler 77 centimeter i bredden, 77 centimeter i dybden og 48 centimeter i højden. Designet er let i vægt og kan anvendes som møbel eller betragtes som et skulpturelt objekt. Arc trækker på moderne arkitektur og på enkle strukturer uden overflødig dekoration.
