About Coastline Dësch
Coastline ass en Dësch, deen vum Ustig vum Mieresspigel duerch d'Klimaerwiermung inspiréiert ass. D'Dëschplack ass aus Acryl, och bekannt als PMMA, hiergestallt a gëtt duerch Hëtzt bei héijen Temperaturen geformt, fir kloert Mieerwaasser duerzestellen. Déi ënnerstëtzend Struktur ass aus Michelia compressa a Kiefer gemaach, an d'Holz stellt d'Héicht vu Bierger duer. Haart Holz gouf ausgewielt, fir datt d'Struktur sech beim Erhëtzen net verformt. Den onregelméissege Rand erënnert un eng Küstelinn, déi vum Mier erodéiert gouf, an d'Kombinatioun vun de Materialien erlaabt d'Liicht a Schichten duerchzeschéngen. Den Dësch mësst 350 mm an der Breet, 650 mm an der Déift a 500 mm an der Héicht.

- Unique Properties
- The clearness of the sea is represented by liquid acrylic, and the height of the mountain is mainly wood, creating a combination of different materials that echoes the light of the layers.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 350 mm x Depth 650 mm x Height 500 mm
- Tags
- A Global warming, B Sea-level rise, C Art, D Table
- Production Technology
- The table top is mainly made of PMMA, and the table is mainly made of michelia compressa and Pine.
- Design Challenge
- Liquid acrylic material is selected as the table top. Liquid acrylic shaping requires high-temperature heating. Therefore, hard wood is selected so that it will not deform during heating.
Considering the above, in the end, the desktop wood is chosen to use the hard texture Michelia compressa wood.
Liquid acrylic color grading is also one of the big challenges. It takes a lot of time for each test to get the best color and transmittance. - Inspiration
- Taking the rising sea level caused by global warming as the starting point, the coastline was eroded by the seawater and showed an uneven appearance, making the table more layered.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2017 in Taiwan. And finished in June 2017 in Taiwan. And was exhibited in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in June 2017. For the second time in Taipei Pavilion of fashion in November 2019.
- Operation Flow
- This is a table with good light transmission and beauty.
