Production Technology: The drawing was done using Autocad program and once done, the information was transmitted to the CNC laser cut used for all woodcuts. In about 15 minutes, we had the table ready. The production followed a fast and straightforward process. No screws, nails or glue were needed. Once cut, we assembly the table feet and put the top over.
Design Challenge: The challenge was to manufacture a meeting or worktable, either for dinner or for decoration purposes, easy to assemble and dismantle, in organic and sustainable material, at the lowest possible production price, versatile, which adapts to any environment.
Research: We tried to find a way to create a collection of contemporary pieces made in sustainable and organic materials at an affordable price. We wanted something simple to do, easy to assemble and light enough to be easily transported. We prefer endogenous materials from the Azores islands, which are easily found and that nature creates and renews. The sustainability of all our projects is critical to us, as we live in an extremely natural and preserved environment. But it is equally essential to involve the local industry and present artisans with new possibilities that combine know-how with creativity and innovation.
Inspiration: When we first started our business, we looked for a good size table, that allow us to meet with customers, work with comfort and space, and fill the space gracefully. We were looking for a wood table, easy to transport and made of any organic material, preferably, wood. We which for something natural, simple, ecological and sustainable material, as well as, elegant. Since we didn't find a table to match our needs, we decided to design our own table.
Project Duration: The project for So Logic started in November 2020. The prototype was made in December and was installed and tested in our Azores office, since then.
Operation Flow: We work with local artisans to improve the first scratches and accomplish the final artwork. The aim was to get an elegant table at a minimal price. We started with a square shape, and we realized that cutting a circular tabletop allowed us to take advantage of all the leftovers of the plywood board and, with them, make the table legs. Then, we idealized how all the pieces fit together easily. We also found that production time was minimal: less than 16 minutes were needed.
