The Design

About Volta Maseya Qehwexwarinê

Volta maseyeke qehwexwarinê ye ku ji taqên qapûtxaneyên katedralan îlham girtiye. Çarçove ji taqên çargoşe û diagonal ên xwarî pêk tê ku xetên avahîsazî yên perçeyê dişikilîne. Textikên pola yên bêjing ên xwarî bi goşeyeke 45 pîleyî li ser hev bicih bûne da ku rûyê masê bidin ber xwe, û lingên maseyê jî stûnên avahîsazî yên taqdar tînin bîra mirov. Rûyê masê ji camê nîv-ronahîgir hatiye çêkirin, ji ber vê yekê avahiya di jêr de xuya dimîne. Çavkaniyeke ronahiyê ya hundir ji aliyê camê ve tê ronahîkirin û şikandin, û ronahî û siyê davêje odeya derdorê.

The Recognition

About the Xelata A' Design Award a Tuncîn

Volta Maseya Qehwexwarinê xelatgirê Xelata A' Design Award a Tuncîn e, nasîneke pir bi prestîj ku ji sêwiranên berbiçav ên bi afirînerî, jêhatîbûn û zîrekiyê têne cudakirin re tê dayîn. Xelatgirên Tuncînê karên bi têra xwe jêhatî û bi awayekî balkêş afirîner in, yên ku ezmûna fireh, xeyal û çareserkirina sêwiranerên xwe piştrast dikin. Tê hêvîkirin ku Volta Maseya Qehwexwarinê tiştekî pir hatiye rêzgirtin, sitayişkirin û delal be, bi awayekî berbiçav pîşekar û nûjen. Ev sêwirana bi Tuncînê serketî pratîkên çêtirîn ên huner, zanist, sêwiran û teknolojiyê digire nav xwe û ji bo baldariya li hûrgiliyan hêja ye. Volta Maseya Qehwexwarinê pêdiviyan bi rengekî xweş tîne cih, destê xwe dide daxwazan, hestan dihejîne û meraqê dikişîne.

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.

Unique Properties: The designer uses a frame form composed of cross or diagonal arched ribs as a basis rule to explore the structural lines and shapes of the object. The design of the table legs refers to the structure’s arched structure column. The special arc-shaped steel plates are staggered at a 45-degree angle to form the support structure of the tabletop.
Dimensions & Packaging: Material/ Stainless Steel, Half-reflecting glass, light
Dimension/ 480mmW x 480mmD x 430mmH
Tags: coffee table, light installation, arched structure, structural design, illumination, interior
Production Technology: In the design making processes and manufacturing tasks, the first version uses metal sculpture approach to manually bend and weld steel bars to make the main structure. The second version is an improved version of the first version. Designer used CAD and CNC to cut steel plates to accurately fabricate the structure. In the structural design, special consideration is given to lightweight and visual performance, and the assembly details are also considered to ensure manufacturing feasibility
Design Challenge: This work interprets the visual appeal and beauty of the arched structure from a human perspective when look up at the space of the cathedral. Through the refraction and reflection between its inside light source and the half-reflective glass used on the desktop, the object can project the beauty of the arched building into the indoor environment in the form of light and shadow.
Research: Designer used CAD and CNC to cut steel plates to accurately fabricate the structure. In the structural design, special consideration is given to lightweight and visual performance, and the assembly details are also considered to ensure manufacturing feasibility.
Inspiration: Volta is an alternative coffee table design, inspired by the rib vault of the cathedral. This work hopes to interpret the visual appeal and beauty of the arched structure from a human perspective when look up at the space of the cathedral.
Project Duration: The project started in June 2012 in Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado, USA. And finished in April 2015 in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2015 (IT), Taipei Fine Arts Museum 2015 (TW), and FORMOSA Sculpture Biennial 2017 (TW).
Operation Flow: The object uses a half-reflective glass as its table-top surface. In daily mode, it presents a special transparent color, allowing users to appreciate the both functional and beautiful structural lines under the table. In the night lighting mode, through the refraction and reflection between its inside light source and the half-reflective glass used on the desktop, the object can project the beauty of the arched building into the indoor environment in the form of light and shadow.
