About Triangle 桌子

数字化设计是用有规律的算法补偿设计师想象力的过程。在设计师预设的功能和规格限制范围内，由计算机生成无限的设计方案变形，设计师再从这些方案中人工选择最优方案，实现人与计算机交互的人工智能设计。
“生长”是有生命力的。看似无序的生长，背后却是秩序和自然规律的演化，所以“自然是数字定律塑造出来的”。设计师试图用数字化设计的方法“生长”出一个桌子。错综复杂的钢筋像树的枝条向外延伸，托住“不规则”的面，形成复杂的交错空间；通过数学逻辑进行不同的排列，适应不同的空间类型，赋予了产品趣味性；采用彩色分层无甲醛密度板桌面，使桌面产生分层效果。

Unique Properties: During exploration in digital design, designer tried to grow a table. It has an irregular desktop, which is made by Medium Density Fiberboard (MFD), and hold up intricate and branch like steel legs. Besides, users can arrange tables into different kind of patterns with mathematical logic, as well as gain entertaining. It is used in an open office or coffee shop to make the space more rhythmic. Curve desktop facilitates communication.
Dimensions & Packaging: 1560mm * 1110mm * 740mm Each
Multiple sizes can be formed to match multiple scenes
Tags: table, desk, office, commercial furniture, modular design, digital design
Production Technology: Digital design is a new design method that people and computer cooperate to design. We give computer some framework instructions, computer algorithm automatically control line or surface to generate some random shapes. Designers design products by adjusting these forms and combining with traditional design methods.
Design Challenge: Social perspectives challenge the public's understanding of traditional tables.
Technology implementation. it is necessary to consider the matching between different modular design and space and scene, as well as the scale and shape conforming to the environmental changes.
Research: Digital design, a dynamic design style, pursuing uncertainties, can create a huge amount of variate by logical algorithm, as well as interact with human. Therefore, these random states and results of a new sense of openness bring people in certain environment more space of imagination, which we believe will change our way of thinking someday.
Inspiration: The theme of this design is growth. Because growth is a structural form with strong vitality. Digital design itself also imitates the growth form to create random form.So we try to use digital design to grow a table like a tree.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2019 in Hangzhou and finished in August 2020 in Hangzhou.
Operation Flow: The mathematical logic of equality and symmetry is used to create the straight line edge of the table. Users can make different shapes according to their needs. The surface and the supporting structure are connected by bolts, and users can change the color of the table according to their preference.
