The Design

About Rt Upuang Walang Sandalan, Side Table

Ang Rt ay isang upuang walang sandalan na maaari ring gamitin bilang side table. Ang disenyo ay inspirado ng Chinese tangram at binubuo ng tatlong bahaging may tamang anggulo (right-angle). Dalawang L-shaped na aluminum plate na magkatulad ang laki ang sumusuporta sa isang right-angle na blokeng kahoy na gawa sa ash. Ang mga aluminum plate ay 6 mm ang kapal at hinubog sa pamamagitan ng laser cutting at machine bending. Ang tatlong bahagi ay pinagdikit gamit ang tornilyo, kaya't maaaring i-assemble at i-disassemble ng mga gumagamit ang Rt nang mag-isa. Ang Rt ay may sukat na 300 by 300 by 500 millimeters at nagpapakita ng iba't ibang anyo depende sa anggulo ng pagtingin.

Unique Properties
The product is composed of 3 right-angle parts, including 2 L-shaped, right-angle aluminum plates of identical size, and 1 wooden right-angle block. Seen from different angles, Rt will give viewers different optical illusions. The linear surface produced by the combination of two different materials, the aluminum plates and wooden block, endeavours to impart a minimalist and eternal sculptural feeling.

Production Technology
The product consists of two parts: an ash stool and a 6mm aluminum plate support obtained through laser cutting and machine bending.
Design Challenge
The main challenge of this product lies in the bending technology it involves, and the material resistance of its aluminum plates. We have studied the carrying capacity of the plates after bending through numerous repeated experiments, and fixed the parts firmly with custom screws.
Research
Proceeding from daily observation and thinking, through the industrial processing of metal and natural materials, we research and manufacture art furniture that may embody and express with interesting logic the essence of life.
Inspiration
The product design is inspired by Chinese tangram and is composed of 3 different right-angled parts mutually supporting each other. Product parts are simple, easy to process, convenient for installation and bulk transportation. The overall appearance of the product is simple and its structure is strong. Because of its inspirational origin, i.e. tangram, Rt may appear both flat and three-dimensional in form, all depending on the angle of the viewer.
Project Duration
The Rt concept design is totally new and was completed in October 2019 in Hangzhou, China. Its first prototype was completed in Hangzhou, in November 2019.
Operation Flow
Rt may be used as a stool as well as a side table. All of its components, 3 in total, are screwed together. Its simple structure allows users to assemble and disassemble it by themselves.
