About Coastline Taula

Coastline es una taula inspirada pels nivèls de la mar en aumentacion causats pel rescalfament climatic. Lo platèu es fach d'acrilic, tanben conegut coma PMMA, e es formada per un cauhament a nauta temperatura per evocar l'aiga de mar clara. L'estructura de sostèn es facha de michelia compressa e de pin, e lo bòsc representa l'nautor de las montanhas. Un bòsc dur foguèt seleccionat per tal que l'estructura se deformèsse pas pendent lo cauhament. Lo bòrd irregular rapèla una còsta erodada per la mar, e la combinason de materials permet a la lutz de passar en jaces. La taula fa 350 mm de larg, 650 mm de prigondor e 500 mm d'nautor.

Production Technology: The table top is mainly made of PMMA, and the table is mainly made of michelia compressa and Pine.
Design Challenge: Liquid acrylic material is selected as the table top. Liquid acrylic shaping requires high-temperature heating. Therefore, hard wood is selected so that it will not deform during heating.
Considering the above, in the end, the desktop wood is chosen to use the hard texture Michelia compressa wood.
Liquid acrylic color grading is also one of the big challenges. It takes a lot of time for each test to get the best color and transmittance.
Inspiration: Taking the rising sea level caused by global warming as the starting point, the coastline was eroded by the seawater and showed an uneven appearance, making the table more layered.
