The Design

About Flow Table

Flow est une table inspirée du QiaoAn, un type de mobilier traditionnel chinois utilisé pour exposer des objets d'art et des peintures. Les deux extrémités relevées du QiaoAn empêchaient les objets de tomber, et cette même caractéristique se retrouve dans Flow. La table mesure 1800 sur 800 sur 750 millimètres et est réalisée en noyer noir et en laiton. Les éléments en bois et en métal sont façonnés par usinage à commande numérique, et le plateau est assemblé selon une structure à tenons et mortaises. Les artisans achèvent ensuite chaque surface par un ponçage manuel minutieux.
