About Diagonal Meja
Diagonal minangka meja sing dirancang adhedhasar siji gagasan geometris, yaiku garis diagonal sing nyambungake rong pojok sing kosok balen. Permukaan mejane digawe saka kayu lapis kanthi veneer walnut, lan pola veneere ngetutake pandhuan diagonal sing padha. Loro sikile digawe saka waja kanthi lapisan bubuk (powder coated), lan loro-lorone diselehake ing garis sing padha. Rangka struktur utama didhelikake ing njero permukaan meja lan nyangga beban liwat telung tiang cendhak menyang sikil. Pinggiran sing miring lan sela antarane permukaan lan sikil ndadekake permukaane katon kaya ngambang.

- Unique Properties
- Diagonal logic was extended to every element and compositional logic of the desk, not only reveals on the layout of walnut veneer of the tabletop, but also applies to structural skeleton that transmits force from the top to stand. Furthermore, the positions of two stands are also aligned to the diagonal guide line of the desktop.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 850 mm X Length 1700 mm X Height 750 mm

- Stand:Steel frame with powder coating surface,
Tabletop of plywood with walnut veneer - Design Challenge
- The main structural skeleton was embedded within the tabletop and transmits the force thru three mediated columns to the stand. The skeleton was placed at the center line of the desk and holds up two cross diagonal logic. Then connects to two 90 degree table stands.
- Research
- The bevel detail of tabletop and the technique to distant stand and tabletop are both meant to lighten upper part of the desk and create a floating illusion.
- Inspiration
- The concept of table “Diagonal 45” is initiated from the geometric term which is one line segment joins two nonconsecutive vertices. The connection between each vertex not only creates a tension but also draw a frame to form an area. The idea is to use the simplest geometry to establish a steady and sleek structure of a table.
- Project Duration
- The project was made in Oct 2017
- Operation Flow
- Void and Solid interaction:
If you stand at the perfect diagonal angle from different side of table, you will be given a total different impression of the desk. One is light as modern steel frame glass building, but from the other angle, the desk will be more like solid concrete building. And of course the view and impression will become various when you walk along the table. The balance between dynamic and static, void and solid are swinging between the diagonal lines. - Team Members
