About Arc Mensa Coffeae
Arcus est mensa coffeae ad spatia habitandi hodierna designata. Arcus ex ligno fraxineo per flexionem laminatam formato factus est. Tres laminae curvatae coniunguntur ut structura triangularis rotunda et tribus dimensionibus instructa fiat. Quaeque lamina cum duabus aliis conectitur, ita ut quattuor iuncturae in singulis laminis necessariae sint, et quisque angulus accurate secandus sit. Mensa 77 centimetra in latitudine, 77 centimetra in altitudine posteriore et 48 centimetra in altitudine metitur. Consilium leve est pondere, et vel ut supellex uti, vel ut opus sculptorium spectari potest. Arcus ex architectura moderna et ex structuris simplicibus, ornamento superfluo carentibus, originem ducit.
