About Samara Masă de cafea
Samara este o masă de cafea cu tăvi detașabile care pot fi folosite ca mese de lucru. Forma este inspirată de semințele înaripate de arțar, cunoscute sub numele de samara. Samara este realizată din lemn masiv de nuc și cireș, provenite din surse locale de lemn de esență tare, iar piesele sunt fasonate prin prelucrare CNC. Picioarele din lemn lamelat încrucișat oferă mesei rezistență și stabilitate. Frunze gravate cu laser decorează suprafața superioară. Capacul de deasupra poate fi deșurubat pentru a elibera mesele-tavă mici, care servesc drept suprafețe de lucru sau tăvi pentru servit masa. Masa are dimensiunile de 1200 mm lățime și 430 mm înălțime.

- Unique Properties
- Samara is a multi-functional coffee table that incorporates removable lap desks. Taking inspiration from maple seed pods, the solid wood construction honors the locally sourced lumber from which it was made. The user can either enjoy Samara as a place to rest their drinks and books, or unscrew the top cap to take off the mini tray tables. These desks can then be used as work stations or surfaces off of which they can eat their food.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- 1200 mm in width x 430 mm in height

- Production Technology
- CNC manufactured using solid walnut and cherry wood
Cross laminated timber legs provide strength
Laser engraved top leaves enhance samara inspiration - Design Challenge
- The most difficult part of this project was creating a structurally sound piece of furniture with moving components. Cross laminated timbers, a recent innovation in the construction industry, were utilized in the table's legs to enhance the stability of the piece
- Research
- Multiple prototypes were made to better understand stability and scale before the final CNC piece was built. Looking into new wood composition technologies, namely Cross Laminated Timber construction, was necessary to achieve a quality result. Collaboration with professionals in the field of Forestry allowed for the success of this product.
- Inspiration
- This project was meant to honor locally sourced Indiana hardwoods. The main form of the design was inspired by the propeller-like shape of maple seed pods, known as Samara. Samara are winged fruits or seeds which provided the perfect basis for a wood focused design. Furthermore, Samara's cherry and walnut construction showcases the beauty of local timber.
- Project Duration
- Started in August 2018 and finished in December 2018
- Operation Flow
- Samara operates primarily as a coffee table, one which acts as a focal point for any room. However, the top piece of Samara can be removed to gain access to the removable lap desks. This allows the coffee table to transform from a static piece of furniture to individual working/eating trays.
