Unique Properties

Round arched table takes the circular arch in European architecture as the core inspiration source, and systematically transforms the spatial order and cultural heritage of the building into the morphological language of furniture. With "architectural gene + practical function + humanistic warmth" as the context, it redefines the way architectural aesthetics are integrated into the home space for users who pursue quality and aesthetic resonance.

Production Technology

Select wood fiberboard (or solid wood board, adjusted according to cost and demand), which has good processing performance and natural texture, suitable for design style.
Through CNC cutting technology, the contours of each component and the mortise and tenon structure (dovetail tenon) are accurately processed; using the plane assembly method, the components are spliced ​​through the dovetail tenon to achieve quick disassembly and assembly.

Design Challenge

The difficulty of the design is to make the furniture fit in with the home space while retaining the solemn beauty of the building. Excessive use of architectural elements leads to a bulky shape that conflicts with the home scene. In the later stage, by adjusting the arc shape and simplifying the symbols, a balance is achieved between solemnity and lightness, which not only echoes the rhythm of the architectural space, but also makes the furniture simple and friendly.

Research

This project focuses on the integration of furniture design and architectural aesthetics, taking European round arches as inspiration, and exploring ways to transform architectural elements into furniture forms. Through the study of dovetail joints and quick-disassembly assembly methods, the feasibility of applying traditional mortise and tenon joint technology in modern quick-assembly furniture is verified, helping to create modern furniture products that are both artistic and practical.

Inspiration

The inspiration comes from an in-depth study of European classical architecture. Standing under the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, the spatial order constructed by the giant arch, the artistic tension accumulated over time, and the heavy sense of history and culture it carries, triggered the design team's thinking about "how architecture can enter daily life". The team found that the arch, as a landmark element of European architecture, not only creates a magnificent and solemn public space, but also contains mankind's eternal pursuit of "connection" (spatial connection, connection between history and the present). Therefore, we tried to disassemble and reorganize the formal genes and aesthetic logic of the arch, and transform it into a furniture form close to the living scene - so that the visual symbols and spatial rhythms of the Arc de Triomphe are no longer limited to city landmarks, but integrated into every corner of the home, so that people can perceive and associate with architectural art in the daily use of the dining table, such as placing a cup of coffee and reading a book, and realize the design vision of "transforming the poetry of architecture into the daily poetry of life".

Project Duration

The project will start construction in Shenzhen in December 2024 and be completed in Shenzhen in June 2025.

Operation Flow

Simply align the dovetail of the side bracket with the mortise of the tabletop and insert it. The mechanical engagement of the mortise and tenon completes the splicing, and the entire process does not require any additional tools.
When you need to clean or change the placement space, you only need to reverse the assembly steps to easily disassemble the parts, which can adapt to dynamic needs such as renting and moving, home space renovation, etc.
