About Aurora Galda dēlis klēpjdatoram

Aurora ir klēpjdatora galdiņš, kas paredzēts lietošanai uz ceļiem vai dīvāna. Izliektā forma ir izgatavota no collas ceturtdaļas biezuma liecēšanas dēļiem, kas ir salīmēti un veidoti starp diviem šabloniem. Gudrs masīvā valriekstu koka iegriezums ir iestrādāts dēlī abās pusēs, lai uzlādes kabeli varētu nofiksēt neatkarīgi no kontaktligzdas atrašanās vietas. Iegriezums arī pasargā kabeli no pārmērīgas liekšanas. Galdiņu ieskauj masīva valriekstu koka apmale, bet virsma ir pārklāta ar valriekstu koka finieri un caurspīdīgu toneri. Nelielais svars ļauj Aurora ērti pacelt, savukārt garums ļauj izmantot to ar vairāk nekā vienu ierīci.

Production Technology
Aurora was made of 1/4 '' bending boards glued and bent together. The smart notch is made of solid walnut placed in the bending board. It also has solid walnut edging all around. Finally, it is covered with
''A grade'' walnut veneer and stained with clear toner finish.
Design Challenge
The main challenge was to have a cohesive walnut look all over the product, especially inside the smart notch. Cutting the veneer at the notch areas required a very precise hand skill. In order to bend the bending boards at the curve area, two complimentary templets were made so the bending boards would be locked up glued in between.
Research
The main focus of the project was the smart notch. The goal was to make it both functional and aesthetically pleasing. After reviewing different mechanical features on different products such as air hose supporting spring ends or some electrical wires protecting systems I came up with the idea of the smart notch hold and protect feature. Size variation makes it less probable for the charging cable to jump out, so it would be held safe and avoid it to be bend and damaged over the time. Examined dimension gave a great stability on sofa yet it let Aurora to be long enough for multi device use friendly and comfortable .
Inspiration
My love asked for a laptop desk and that's how I started. Inspired by curved wooden furniture and the amazing Porsche 918 exhaust pipe's design, I come up with the primary design which evolved into Aurora.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2020 in Irvine, California and finished on February 2020.
Operation Flow
Aurora's light weight allows you to lift it easily and place it on your lap. Grab your charger and fit in the smart notch before plugging it into the laptop. Aurora is long enough for multi device or combination use. Aurora
ergonomics feature prevents you to bend your back over a book or laptop and lets you be able to read, work and enjoy your time.
