About Humming Tree Meja Makan
Humming Tree ialah sebuah meja makan yang turut berfungsi sebagai bekas bunga lantai. Bukaan di bahagian tengah menempatkan bunga, daun serta dahan pokok yang tinggi, sama ada kering ataupun segar. Bentuknya diilhamkan daripada bentuk mata anak panah pada daun Keladi, lengkap dengan tulang tengah, urat daun serta helaian yang bersih. Struktur daun ini dipecahkan kepada dua bahagian, iaitu lapisan kulit dan lapisan tulang, dan bentuk daun terhasil apabila kedua-dua lapisan ini bertindih. Meja ini diperbuat daripada polikarbonat dan keluli, dengan ukuran 1400 bagi 950 bagi 750 milimeter. Reka bentuk lutsinar ini membawa unsur semula jadi lebih dekat kepada mereka yang makan di rumah bandar.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Humming Tree is a fusion of dining table and floor vase to hold tall dry or fresh flowers, leaves and tree branches. City life has become mentally exhausting and contact with Nature has become less. The intent is to let the diners experience natural elements arranged in the vase and this will help in reducing stress and negative feelings as they dine. It is a see through design with leaf structure split into two distinct Skin and Bone components. The leaf form becomes apparent when they overlap.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Overall Dimension (l x b x h) : 1400 mm x 950 mm x 750 mm
Dining Area : 1100 mm x 950 mm - Tags
- Leaf inspired, veins and blade, Taro Leaf, Vase Table, cantilevered table, see through design
- Production Technology
- Polycarbonate, steel
- Research
- Benefits of experiencing Nature and natural elements were studied and also the leaf structure of Taro leaf was studied for better understanding while developing the form.
- Inspiration
- Humming Tree is inspired from arrow head shape Taro leaf structure. Taro leaf collects water at its center spot and has distinct midrib and veins structure with clean blade and this inspired me to develop the leaf form into two distinct layers overlapping above each other and elongate and deepen the centre spot till the floor to function as floor vase.
- Operation Flow
- The dining table with collection/arrangement in the center spot is a strong stimulus to the diners since the scale is larger than conventional vases kept at the center of table. The human sized arrangement of natural dry/fresh flower, leaves and branches will help in restoring the mind and evoking positive thoughts.
