A prepaus de Folding Taula d'apont

Folding es una taula d'apont que servís tanben de escultura geometrica concebuda per èsser vista de totes los costats. La taula es fabricada a partir d'una sola placa de fusta dura laminada, copada en quatre pèças e tornarmai jonchas segon d'angles aguts e obtuses, de manièra que la forma sembla aver estat plegada. De longs chanfrens en punta afinan las arestas facetadas. L'assemblatge se fa amb de junturas a cavilhas, de gabarits de fustariá e de metòdes de sarratge especials. La placa es plegada tres còps, e cadun dels quatre costats presenta una vista diferenta. Cada dimension mesura 483 mm.

Proprietats Unicas: This side table design is a geometric sculpture meant to be enjoyed from all sides. It is made from one laminated slab, cut and joined back together on acute and obtuse angles, to give the impression that it has been folded into a table-like form.
Dimensions e Embalatge: Width 483 mm x Depth 483 mm x Height 483 mm
Etiquetas: folding, table, geometric, sculptural, side table, origami, taper, facet
Tecnologia de Produccion: The first step in the process is to make a laminated hardwood slab. Then the slab is cut into four pieces. The use of woodworking jigs and fixtures is necessary to cut the unusual angles and tapered chamfers. Dowel-type joinery and special clamping methods are used for the final assembly
Desaffo de Dissènh: In minimalist designs a recurring challenge is finding the sweet spot between simplicity and complexity. Based on the initial design concept it was clear that the base and top of the table needed to be parallel planes. Two folds would have been the minimum to accomplish this but would have also been too simple to be interesting. Four folds would have been too complex and less structurally sound. The conclusion that this design required the slab to be folded three times provided the constraints and scope for the remainder of the design work.
Recèrca: For this design the portion of the effort that was mathematical was far grater than in most other design projects. Although at first sight the folding table may appear elegantly simple, transforming this concept into reality was a highly complex trigonometric challenge. Each adjustment to the aesthetics required a long series of recalculations
Inspiracion: The objective in this design was to create something that is both simple and radically new. The design process began with experiments folding a rectangular strip of paper. After transitioning from working with the flat plane of the paper to the thick wooden slab, the incorporation of the long tapered chamfers became aesthetically necessary - one of the most delightful elements of the design.
Durada del Projècte: February 2025 - September 2025
Flux Operacional: The folding table is best suited for use as a side table in an open space that provides as many unobstructed views as possible. Since it appears different from each of it's four sides, the front of the table depends on the preference of the viewer.
