About Magic Blocks Salontafel
Magic Blocks is een set van drie salontafels vervaardigd uit roestvrij staal. De staven worden met de hand samengevoegd door middel van wolfraam-inertgaslassen en afgewerkt met een poedercoating. De gelakte oppervlakken zijn verkrijgbaar in verschillende kleuren en geschikt voor gebruik binnen en buiten. De drie tafels hebben verschillende hoogtes, waardoor de stukken elkaar kunnen overlappen of afzonderlijk kunnen worden gebruikt. Verschillende combinaties creëren effecten van perspectief en kleuroverlap binnen een ruimte. Wanneer ze niet in gebruik zijn, kunnen de tafels thuis als kunstobjecten worden gezien. De vormen zijn strikt horizontaal en verticaal, en blijven basaal en onopgesmukt.

- Unique Properties
- The boards are joined together by craft welders and finished in various colors of paint coating treatment, suitable for indoors and outdoors.Functionally, the objects are designed in different heights to overlap or simply serving its purpose individually.In vision, through different combinations, perspective and color overlap are generated to decorate different interior spaces.

- Production Technology
- Made of stainless steel, the rods are joined together by craft welders using tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding methods; and finished in powder coating treatment.The surface is painted in different colors, suitable for indoors and outdoors.
- Design Challenge
- In the design, designer strictly employ shapes in horizontal and vertical formats; and when shapes and forms are utilized, it will have to be the most basic unadorned geometric forms.The challenge is to find the geometric shapes to place through to increase the perspective of the table.The hardest part of the design activity is in the production of the tables.The simplicity and clarity of the design requires good precision in the welding, almost seeking perfect in machinated beauty but in the form of craft.Also in terms of measurements, a slight deviation will make a drastic visual effect hence accuracy and consistence is important in the making.
- Research
- The research is based on the rediscovery of space, perspective and color, and on the impact that on furniture and interior spaces. Which got others further into a dialogue on the idea of design being conscious in intent, and also how can design be deconstructed to derive a level of novelty besides its dominant principles.
- Inspiration
- Is design often conscious with intent? Does the design often use a sense of space? How can deconstruction and perspective design bring novelty besides its dominant principles?Inspired by spatial illusion, the result is a set of steel interpretation accentuated by its surface and colors.This experiential project exemplifies an exploration of systematic practice, visual interactions and human experiences.This experimental project is an example of exploration of visual perspective and exploration.
- Project Duration
- The project started in 2016 in Taipei.A prototype was made in 2018 in Taipei. Photo in 2019.
- Operation Flow
- These three objects are combined in simply used as a coffee table alone.When not in use, they can be considered art at home.
