About Diagonal Skrivebord

Diagonal er et skrivebord designet rundt én enkelt geometrisk idé, den diagonale linjen som forbinder to motstående hjørner. Bordplaten er laget av kryssfiner med valnøttfiner, og finérmønsteret følger den samme diagonale ledelinjen. De to understellene er laget av stål med pulverlakkert finish, og begge understellene er plassert langs den samme linjen. Det bærende hovedskjelettet er skjult inne i bordplaten og fører lasten gjennom tre korte søyler til understellene. En skråkant og en åpning mellom platen og understellene får overflaten til å se ut som om den svever.

Dette designet, som har vunnet A' Design Award i Sølv, er en svært bemerkelsesverdig, beundret oppfinnelse som gagner og flytter grensene for kunst, vitenskap, design og teknologi. Diagonal Skrivebord er et skaperverk mange misunner, som vekker ønsker, gir positive følelser og vekker undring og forundring.

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Diagonal logic was extended to every element and compositional logic of the desk, not only reveals on the layout of walnut veneer of the tabletop, but also applies to structural skeleton that transmits force from the top to stand. Furthermore, the positions of two stands are also aligned to the diagonal guide line of the desktop.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 850 mm X Length 1700 mm X Height 750 mm
Tags: Table,Diagonal,Taiwan,Furniture
Production Technology: Stand:Steel frame with powder coating surface,
Tabletop of plywood with walnut veneer
Design Challenge: The main structural skeleton was embedded within the tabletop and transmits the force thru three mediated columns to the stand. The skeleton was placed at the center line of the desk and holds up two cross diagonal logic. Then connects to two 90 degree table stands.
Research: The bevel detail of tabletop and the technique to distant stand and tabletop are both meant to lighten upper part of the desk and create a floating illusion.
Inspiration: The concept of table “Diagonal 45” is initiated from the geometric term which is one line segment joins two nonconsecutive vertices. The connection between each vertex not only creates a tension but also draw a frame to form an area. The idea is to use the simplest geometry to establish a steady and sleek structure of a table.
Project Duration: The project was made in Oct 2017
Operation Flow: Void and Solid interaction:
If you stand at the perfect diagonal angle from different side of table, you will be given a total different impression of the desk. One is light as modern steel frame glass building, but from the other angle, the desk will be more like solid concrete building. And of course the view and impression will become various when you walk along the table. The balance between dynamic and static, void and solid are swinging between the diagonal lines.
