About Humming Tree Spisebord

Book Text: Humming Tree er et spisebord som også fungerer som en gulvvase. Den sentrale åpningen holder høye tørkede eller ferske blomster, blader og trekvister. Formen er inspirert av pilspissformen til Taro-bladet, med sin midtnerve, årer og rene blad. Bladstrukturen er delt i to deler, et hudlag og et beinlag, og bladformen fremtrer der de to lagene overlapper. Bordet er laget av polykarbonat og stål og måler 1400 x 950 x 750 millimeter. Det gjennomsiktige designet bringer naturlige elementer nærmere middagsgjester i byhjem.

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

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.
