About So Logic Multifunktionalen Dësch

So Logic ass en multifunktionalen Dësch, deen fir Versammlungen, Aarbecht an Iesse konzipéiert gouf. Den Dësch gëtt aus enger eenzeger Standard-Sperrholzplack geschnidden, sou datt kee Holz verschwend gëtt. D'Schnëtter ginn duerch eng computergesteiert Maschinn gemaach, an d'Deeler passen zesummen ouni Schrauwen, Neel oder Klieuwstoff. D'Produktioun dauert ongeféier 15 Minutten, an d'Verbindung vun der Dëschplack mat de Been gëtt an ongeféier enger Minutt gemaach. Déi kreesrond Plack huet en Duerchmiesser vun 1200 mm an eng Héicht vun 700 mm. Den Dësch ass liicht, einfach ze transportéieren an einfach ze demontéieren, a méi Dëscher kënnen zesummen zu Gruppen arrangéiert ginn.

With simple cuts and without any wood waste, the table allows a straightforward assembly. Without needing screws, nails or glue, the table is produced in a record time of 15 minutes. To assembly the tabletop and feet, no more than 1 minute is needed.The table is not only easy to assemble, but also easy to set up a settle of tables.

Production Technology: The drawing was done using Autocad program and once done, the information was transmitted to the CNC laser cut used for all woodcuts. In about 15 minutes, we had the table ready. The production followed a fast and straightforward process. No screws, nails or glue were needed. Once cut, we assembly the table feet and put the top over.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to manufacture a meeting or worktable, either for dinner or for decoration purposes, easy to assemble and dismantle, in organic and sustainable material, at the lowest possible production price, versatile, which adapts to any environment.
Research: We tried to find a way to create a collection of contemporary pieces made in sustainable and organic materials at an affordable price. We wanted something simple to do, easy to assemble and light enough to be easily transported. We prefer endogenous materials from the Azores islands, which are easily found and that nature creates and renews. The sustainability of all our projects is critical to us, as we live in an extremely natural and preserved environment. But it is equally essential to involve the local industry and present artisans with new possibilities that combine know-how with creativity and innovation.
Inspiration: When we first started our business, we looked for a good size table, that allow us to meet with customers, work with comfort and space, and fill the space gracefully. We were looking for a wood table, easy to transport and made of any organic material, preferably, wood. We which for something natural, simple, ecological and sustainable material, as well as, elegant. Since we didn't find a table to match our needs, we decided to design our own table.
Project Duration: The project for So Logic started in November 2020. The prototype was made in December and was installed and tested in our Azores office, since then.
Operation Flow: We work with local artisans to improve the first scratches and accomplish the final artwork. The aim was to get an elegant table at a minimal price. We started with a square shape, and we realized that cutting a circular tabletop allowed us to take advantage of all the leftovers of the plywood board and, with them, make the table legs. Then, we idealized how all the pieces fit together easily. We also found that production time was minimal: less than 16 minutes were needed.
