About Klotz Bòrd-cofaidh Structarail

'S e bòrd-cofaidh a th' ann an Klotz le mullach glainne air a chumail suas le casan fiodha air an dèanamh de shia pàirtean fa leth. Tha gach cas air a dèanamh le bhith a' co-ghlasadh trì blocaichean fiodha, a' cruthachadh coltas sìmplidh ach snaidhte. Tha darach aotrom agus darach dubh air an cur còmhla gus sgeama dhathan eadar-dhealaichte a chruthachadh a tha a' soilleireachadh gu soilleir togail agus sgeama structarail nan casan.

Unique Properties
Klotz is a coffee table that has a glass top and wooden legs made of six separate parts.
The legs have a block structure constructed by bracing three legs with the other three legs, producing a simple, sculptural form.
For the wooden legs, I used two different kinds of oak wood which
have different colors. the one with lighter color is light oak, and
the one with darker color is black oak. By combining two different
colored woods, it creates interesting contrast and makes the
structure of legs more clearly.

Design Challenge
The big challenge of this project was how I could bring humour to the living room.
