About Volta د قهوې میز

ولټا یو د قهوې میز دی چې د کلیسا چتونو د رِب طاقونو (rib vaults) څخه الهام اخیستی دی. چوکاټ د کراس شویو او مثلثي (diagonal) طاقي رِبونو څخه جوړ شوی دی چې د دې ټوکړې جوړښتي کرښې ب形ه ورکوي. خمیدلي د زنګ نه خوړونکي فولادو (stainless steel) پلیټونه په ۴۵ درجې زاویه کې پرله‌پسې ترتیب شوي دي ترڅو د میز پاسنۍ برخه ساتنه وکړي، او پښې د طاقي جوړښتي ستنو یادونه راولي. د میز پاسنۍ برخه له نیمه-انعکاسي (half-reflecting) شیشې څخه جوړه شوې ده، نو لاندې جوړښت لیدل کیدونکی پاتې کیږي. د دننه یو رڼا سرچینه د شیشې له لارې انعکاس او انعطاف کیږي، چې رڼا او سیوري شاوخوا ماحول ته وا映.

Unique Properties
The designer uses a frame form composed of cross or diagonal arched ribs as a basis rule to explore the structural lines and shapes of the object. The design of the table legs refers to the structure’s arched structure column. The special arc-shaped steel plates are staggered at a 45-degree angle to form the support structure of the tabletop.
Dimensions & Packaging
Material/ Stainless Steel, Half-reflecting glass, light

Production Technology
In the design making processes and manufacturing tasks, the first version uses metal sculpture approach to manually bend and weld steel bars to make the main structure. The second version is an improved version of the first version. Designer used CAD and CNC to cut steel plates to accurately fabricate the structure. In the structural design, special consideration is given to lightweight and visual performance, and the assembly details are also considered to ensure manufacturing feasibility
Design Challenge
This work interprets the visual appeal and beauty of the arched structure from a human perspective when look up at the space of the cathedral. Through the refraction and reflection between its inside light source and the half-reflective glass used on the desktop, the object can project the beauty of the arched building into the indoor environment in the form of light and shadow.

Inspiration
Volta is an alternative coffee table design, inspired by the rib vault of the cathedral. This work hopes to interpret the visual appeal and beauty of the arched structure from a human perspective when look up at the space of the cathedral.
Project Duration
The project started in June 2012 in Anderson Ranch Arts Center in Colorado, USA. And finished in April 2015 in Hsinchu, Taiwan. It was exhibited in Salone del Mobile in April 2015 (IT), Taipei Fine Arts Museum 2015 (TW), and FORMOSA Sculpture Biennial 2017 (TW).
Operation Flow
The object uses a half-reflective glass as its table-top surface. In daily mode, it presents a special transparent color, allowing users to appreciate the both functional and beautiful structural lines under the table. In the night lighting mode, through the refraction and reflection between its inside light source and the half-reflective glass used on the desktop, the object can project the beauty of the arched building into the indoor environment in the form of light and shadow.
