Qhov Tsim

Txog God's Math Lub Rooj Khaws Khoom

Vaajtswv Kev Xam Zauv yog ib lub rooj khaws khoom uas tau txais kev tshoov siab los ntawm cov qauv leb pom nyob hauv qhov xwm txheej ntuj tsim. Fibonacci spiral yog qhov tseem ceeb ntawm tus qauv tsim khoom, thiab nws raug vij nkaus los ntawm golden ratio thiab lub voj voog. Tus spiral raug tsim ua ib tug qauv hlau kib ua ke uas txhawb thiab dhau los ntawm lub cev ntoo. Lub rooj khaws khoom muaj ob lub qhov rooj thiab peb qhov chaw cais, thiab siab raws li tau xaiv kom yooj yim rau kev siv. Cov ntoo rosewood, birdseye maple thiab cocobolo veneer laminates pab txo tus naj npawb ntoo tawv uas xav tau. Lub rooj khaws khoom muaj qhov ntev 1219 mm dav, 508 mm tob thiab 1981 mm siab.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: God's Math successfully melds multiple reoccurring mathematical phenomena in nature into an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomena, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element, surrounded by the Golden Ratio and the divine circle. A fully functional cabinet seemingly floats in an ergonomically optimized location on a piece which is as interesting to look at as it is efficient and practical in its use - Much the same way nature finds order out of chaos.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Width 1219 mm x Depth 508 mm x Height 1981 mm
Cov Ntsiab Lus: Fibonacci, mid-century modern, cabinet, metal, veneer, God, math
Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: Project included welding, woodworking and advanced lamination techniques. Rosewood, birdseye maple and Cocobolo were veneer laminates to ensure a sustainable design. Custom forms and creative veneering processes required for both scale and non-linear faces of the piece.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: In order for the spiral to accurately represent the Fibonacci Spiral, the mathematical elements were scaled up and represented by the steel welded superstructure. The spiral itself is three distinct components: veneers bent around a form, pressed in a form, and laminated carved pieces of wood. Tangentially related, incorporation of the steel structure into the spiral as it sits within and extending through the spiral.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: Research conducted on both advanced methods for lamination and the recurring mathematical phenomenons found in nature. A great deal of time was spent pondering how to create an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomenons, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element. Some experiments were run on stability of laminates for such a large and heavy piece, as well as veneering outside curves.
Kev Txhawb Siab: The repeating order in our universe, from galaxies to microorganisms shows repeating patterns which can be demonstrated through mathematics. Italian mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, wrote about this in 1202 in his book, Liber Abaci. The golden ratio is another recurring mathematical ratio which has captured the attention of some of the greatest minds in history. No design referencing God’s math would be replete without the divinity represented by the circle.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: Project began in November, 2019 in Greenville, SC and finished in April, 2020. Currently stored in studio.
