About Humming Tree Meza ya Kulia Chakula

Humming Tree ni meza ya kulia chakula ambayo pia hufanya kazi kama chombo cha maua cha sakafuni. Tundu la katikati hushikilia maua marefu makavu au mabichi, majani na matawi ya miti. Umbo lake limechochewa na umbo la ncha ya mshale wa jani la Taro, likiwa na mshipa wake wa kati, mishipa mingine na ubapa safi. Muundo wa jani umegawanywa katika sehemu mbili, safu ya ngozi na safu ya mfupa, na umbo la jani hujitokeza pale ambapo tabaka hizo mbili zinapopishana. Meza hiyo imetengenezwa kwa polycarbonate na chuma, na ina vipimo vya milimita 1400 kwa 950 kwa 750. Muundo huu unaoonekana kupenyeka huleta vipengele vya asili karibu zaidi na wanaokula chakula katika nyumba za mijini.

Unique Properties
Humming Tree is a fusion of dining table and floor vase to hold tall dry or fresh flowers, leaves and tree branches. City life has become mentally exhausting and contact with Nature has become less. The intent is to let the diners experience natural elements arranged in the vase and this will help in reducing stress and negative feelings as they dine. It is a see through design with leaf structure split into two distinct Skin and Bone components. The leaf form becomes apparent when they overlap.
Dimensions & Packaging
Overall Dimension (l x b x h) : 1400 mm x 950 mm x 750 mm
Dining Area : 1100 mm x 950 mm

Production Technology
Polycarbonate, steel
Research
Benefits of experiencing Nature and natural elements were studied and also the leaf structure of Taro leaf was studied for better understanding while developing the form.
Inspiration
Humming Tree is inspired from arrow head shape Taro leaf structure. Taro leaf collects water at its center spot and has distinct midrib and veins structure with clean blade and this inspired me to develop the leaf form into two distinct layers overlapping above each other and elongate and deepen the centre spot till the floor to function as floor vase.
Operation Flow
The dining table with collection/arrangement in the center spot is a strong stimulus to the diners since the scale is larger than conventional vases kept at the center of table. The human sized arrangement of natural dry/fresh flower, leaves and branches will help in restoring the mind and evoking positive thoughts.
