About Coastline Meza

Coastline ni meza iliyoongozwa na kupanda kwa kina cha bahari kunakosababishwa na ongezeko la joto duniani. Sehemu ya juu ya meza imetengenezwa kwa akriliki, inayojulikana pia kama PMMA, na kuumbwa kwa kupashwa joto la juu ili kuonyesha maji safi ya bahari. Muundo wa msingi umetengenezwa kwa mbao za michelia compressa na mvinje, ambapo mbao hizo zinawakilisha urefu wa milima. Mbao ngumu zilichaguliwa ili muundo usibadilike umbo wakati wa mchakato wa kupashwa joto. Ukingo usio na usawa unakumbusha ukanda wa pwani uliomomonyoka na bahari, na mchanganyiko wa vifaa unaruhusu mwanga kupenya kwa tabaka. Meza ina upana wa milimita 350, kina cha milimita 650, na urefu wa milimita 500.

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
