About Coastline Umsebenzi Oyinhloko: Itafula
Umbhalo Wencwadi: I-Coastline yitafula eliphefumulelwe ukukhuphuka kwamanzi olwandle okubangelwa ukufudumala komhlaba. Isicabha setafula senziwe nge-acrylic, esaziwa nangokuthi i-PMMA, futhi sibunjwe ngokushisiswa okuphezulu ukuze sifane namanzi olwandle acwebile. Isakhiwo esisekelayo senziwe ngezinkuni ze-michelia compressa nezikaphayini, futhi lezi zinkuni zimelela ubude bezintaba. Kukhethwe uhlobo lwezinkuni oluqinile ukuze isakhiwo singaguquki isimo ngesikhathi sokushisiswa. Umphetho ongalingani ukhumbuza ugu lolwandle olugqugquzelwe amanzi olwandle, futhi ukuhlanganiswa kwezinto okwakhiwe ngazo kuvumela ukukhanya ukuthi kudlule ngamazinga. Itafula linobubanzi obungu-350 mm, ubujulu obungu-650 mm nokuphakama okungu-500 mm.

- 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.
