About Aurora Deasc Ríomhaire Glúine
Is deasc ríomhaire glúine í Aurora atá deartha lena húsáid ar an nglúin nó ar shuíochán tolg. Tá an fhoirm chuartha déanta as cláir lúbtha ceathrú horlach atá greamaithe agus múnlaithe idir dhá theimpléad. Tá eang chliste de shonnach chrua leagtha isteach sa chlár ar an dá thaobh, ionas gur féidir cábla luchtaithe a choinneáil ina áit beag beann ar shuíomh an asaigh. Cosnaíonn an eang an cábla freisin ó lúbadh iomarcach. Tá imeall de shonnach chrua timpeall na deisce, agus tá an dromchla clúdaithe le fíníor sonnaí agus críoch shoiléir tónair. Ligeann an meáchan éadrom d'Aurora a bheith tógtha go héasca, agus tacaíonn an fad léi a húsáid le níos mó ná gléas amháin.

- Production Technology
- Aurora was made of 1/4 '' bending boards glued and bent together. The smart notch is made of solid walnut placed in the bending board. It also has solid walnut edging all around. Finally, it is covered with
''A grade'' walnut veneer and stained with clear toner finish. - Design Challenge
- The main challenge was to have a cohesive walnut look all over the product, especially inside the smart notch. Cutting the veneer at the notch areas required a very precise hand skill. In order to bend the bending boards at the curve area, two complimentary templets were made so the bending boards would be locked up glued in between.
- Research
- The main focus of the project was the smart notch. The goal was to make it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. After reviewing different mechanical features on different products such as air hose supporting spring ends or some electrical wires protecting systems I came up with the idea of the smart notch hold and protect feature. Size variation makes it less probable for the charging cable to jump out, so it would be held safe and avoid it to be bend and damaged over the time. Examined dimension gave a great stability on sofa yet it let Aurora to be long enough for multi device use friendly and comfortable .
- Inspiration
- My love asked for a laptop desk and that's how I started. Inspired by curved wooden furniture and the amazing Porsche 918 exhaust pipe's design, I come up with the primary design which evolved into Aurora.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2020 in Irvine, California and finished on February 2020.
- Operation Flow
- Aurora's light weight allows you to lift it easily and place it on your lap. Grab your charger and fit in the smart notch before plugging it into the laptop. Aurora is long enough for multi device or combination use. Aurora
ergonomics feature prevents you to bend your back over a book or laptop and lets you be able to read, work and enjoy your time. - Image Credits
