About Cocktail میز

طراحی یک میز کوکتل سیاه و سفید با سایه های جالب توجه است که رنگ مشکی این میز را بازی می کند. این یک طراحی بی انتها است که با سبک های زیادی متناسب خواهد بود. می توان مصنوعات را در سطوح مختلف زیر نشان داد تا ظاهر آن را تغییر دهد و ضمن اینکه صفحه را نیز روشن نگه می دارد. میز KD پول نقد و طراحی حمل و نقل است: خرید ، آوردن خانه و به راحتی توسط هر کسی مونتاژ شود. طراحی زیبا و جالب است که باید به آن توجه کنید اما اغراق آمیز نیست. جداول کوکتل معمولاً در مرکز فعالیت قرار دارند ، اما نباید به مرکز توجه تبدیل شوند - این میز دقیقاً همین امر را انجام می دهد

Unique Properties
The design is a geometric design of concentric squares, generally, a 1m square with a 0.6m hole on top of a 0.6m square with a 0.3m hole on top of a 0.3m square. - the black color of the table material and the shadows create interesting effects. The finish is a black lacquer finish that reads as a black with "depth". Items or artifacts can be display on the different levels below the table top to change the appearance of the table while also keeping the table top clear.
Dimensions & Packaging
The table design is US dimensions - in metric units, that is 1 meter X 1 meter square and 0.5 meter high, 1/2 the horizontal table dimension. The design is concentric squares, reducing by 0.3 meters each level: 1m with a 0.6m hole over a 0.6m square with a 0.3m hole over a 0.3m square. The package is +/- 1.01m X 1.01m X 0.08m thick with a carry handle. The packaging is recycled and/or new cardboard with cardboard filler pieces. A simple tool is provided for assembling and dis-assembling the table.

Production Technology
The table is made from plywood with a tempered glass top that is set flush with the table top. The legs meet the corners of the horizontal pieces such that the chamfer on the horizontal pieces match the width of the legs. There are special spring loaded fasteners that hold it together, which are the dowel like items in the images. Due to limitations on dimensional tolerances, the item is better suited for mass production in a factory.

Design Challenge
The design process applied here has more to do with an experiment to prove a theory: The process of design may be accelerated by stripping it down to the fundamental components and working through them with intent, focusing on the design of the whole object at one time, and, if a problem is approached by considering the whole rather than considering each part, a coherent, harmonious and complete result may be achieved.
Research
The design process was an experiment in applying some design process theories I have. Basically, ways of using my mind to produce designs that are complete and appear as a unified complete design/ object, rather than appearing as an assemblage of parts. The design process may be used by anyone.
Inspiration
I wanted to design the "ultimate" cocktail table. Something that was beautiful to look at without becoming the center of attention of the room, a piece that can work with a variety of interior styles and a timeless design. The result is this table, which is a play of light, dark, shade and shadow.
Project Duration
The design took a couple of months to develop and apply to a working drawing. Designed in NYC, USA.
Operation Flow
The table is a "knock down" piece of furniture. The table comes in a box flat packed and is cash and carry - It is easy assembly for anyone with the special "spring loaded fasteners" (not detailed here).
