The Design

About Flow Mesa

Flow é uma mesa inspirada no QiaoAn, um tipo tradicional de mobiliário chinês utilizado para expor objetos de arte e pinturas. As duas extremidades elevadas do QiaoAn impediam que os itens caíssem, e essa mesma característica foi aplicada à Flow. A mesa mede 1800 por 800 por 750 milímetros e é feita de nogueira-preta e latão. As partes de madeira e metal são modeladas por usinagem com comando numérico computadorizado, e o tampo é construído com uma estrutura de encaixe de espiga e mortise. Em seguida, os artesãos finalizam cada superfície com um cuidadoso lixamento manual.
