The Design

About Coastline Sto

Coastline je sto inspirisan porastom nivoa mora izazvanim globalnim zagrevanjem. Ploča stola izrađena je od akrila, poznatog i kao PMMA, i oblikovana je zagrevanjem na visokoj temperaturi kako bi podsećala na bistru morsku vodu. Noseća konstrukcija izrađena je od drveta michelia compressa i bora, pri čemu drvo predstavlja visinu planina. Odabrano je tvrdo drvo kako se konstrukcija ne bi deformisala tokom procesa zagrevanja. Neravna ivica podseća na obalu koju je erodiralo more, a kombinacija materijala omogućava da svetlost prolazi kroz slojeve. Dimenzije stola su 350 mm širine, 650 mm dubine i 500 mm visine.

Production Technology
The table top is mainly made of PMMA, and the table is mainly made of michelia compressa and Pine.
Design Challenge
Liquid acrylic material is selected as the table top. Liquid acrylic shaping requires high-temperature heating. Therefore, hard wood is selected so that it will not deform during heating.
Considering the above, in the end, the desktop wood is chosen to use the hard texture Michelia compressa wood.
Liquid acrylic color grading is also one of the big challenges. It takes a lot of time for each test to get the best color and transmittance.
Inspiration
Taking the rising sea level caused by global warming as the starting point, the coastline was eroded by the seawater and showed an uneven appearance, making the table more layered.
Project Duration
The project started in January 2017 in Taiwan. And finished in June 2017 in Taiwan. And was exhibited in Songshan Cultural and Creative Park in June 2017. For the second time in Taipei Pavilion of fashion in November 2019.
Operation Flow
This is a table with good light transmission and beauty.
