About Aurora 노트북 데스크
오로라(Aurora)는 무릎 위나 소파에서 사용할 수 있도록 디자인된 노트북 데스크다. 곡선 형태는 4분의 1인치 두께의 벤딩 보드를 접착한 후 두 개의 틀 사이에서 성형하여 만들어졌다. 보드 양쪽에는 월넛 원목으로 만든 영리한 홈이 삽입되어 있어, 콘센트의 위치와 관계없이 충전 케이블을 원하는 자리에 고정할 수 있다. 이 홈은 케이블이 과도하게 꺾이는 것도 방지해 준다. 데스크 둘레는 월넛 원목 엣지로 마감했으며, 표면은 월넛 무늬목과 투명 토너 도장으로 처리했다. 가벼운 무게 덕분에 오로라는 손쉽게 들어 옮길 수 있고, 넉넉한 길이로 두 대 이상의 기기를 함께 사용할 수 있다.

- 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
