The Design
About Diagonal 책상
Diagonal은 하나의 기하학적 아이디어, 즉 마주 보는 두 모서리를 잇는 대각선을 중심으로 디자인된 책상이다. 상판은 월넛 무늬목을 입힌 합판으로 제작되었으며, 무늬목의 결 패턴 역시 동일한 대각선 기준선을 따른다. 두 개의 스탠드는 분체도장으로 마감한 스틸 소재이며, 두 스탠드 모두 같은 선상에 배치된다. 주된 구조 골격은 상판 내부에 감춰져 있으며, 세 개의 짧은 기둥을 통해 하중을 스탠드로 전달한다. 경사진 베벨 엣지와 상판과 스탠드 사이의 틈은 상판이 공중에 떠 있는 듯한 인상을 준다.

- 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

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
