O luga o le laulau e faia i tioata fa'aataata-'afa (half-reflecting glass), ina ia mafai ona iloa pea le fausaga o lo'o i lalo. O se puna moli i totonu e fa'aataata ma fa'asalalau e le tioata, e fa'ailoa atu ai le moli ma le paolo i totonu o le potu.

Uiga Fa'apitoa
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.

Dimension/ 480mmW x 480mmD x 430mmH
Fa'ailoga
coffee table, light installation, arched structure, structural design, illumination, interior
Tekonolosi Gaosiga
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
Lu'itau o le Mamanu
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.

Fa'agasologa o Galuega
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.
