The Design

About Arc Mesa de centro

Arc es una mesa de centro diseñada para espacios de vida contemporáneos. Arc está fabricada en madera de fresno moldeada mediante curvado laminado. Tres listones curvos se unen para formar una estructura triangular redondeada y tridimensional. Cada listón se conecta con los otros dos, por lo que se requieren cuatro uniones en cada listón y cada ángulo debe cortarse con precisión. La mesa mide 77 centímetros de ancho, 77 centímetros de profundidad y 48 centímetros de altura. El diseño es ligero y puede utilizarse como mobiliario o contemplarse como un objeto escultórico. Arc se inspira en la arquitectura moderna y en las estructuras sencillas, sin ornamentación superflua.
