關於 Iso 咖啡桌

Iso係一張咖啡桌,入面內嵌一張細細的裝飾桌。裝飾桌嘅高度同主桌不同,表面採用鮮明嘅螢光綠色作為修飾,而咖啡桌本身則保持低調簡約嘅風格。呢種色彩對比清晰標示出綠色表面係擺放裝飾物品嘅區域,令桌面其餘部分保持清爽整潔。桌面採用膠合板同飾面板材料,以數控雕刻機(CNC router)裁切而成。桌腳部分則以實木製作,採用傳統榫接工藝組裝,不但方便平板包裝運輸,亦有助降低生產成本。

設計背後

新聞資料包

由設計師提供嘅製作人員名單、團隊成員同技術詳情。

獨特屬性: The Iso Table is essentially a coffee table with a floating accent table inside of it. The floating accent table creates a physical separation for the user to unconsciously declutter. The bright neon green color of the accent table serves as a visual indicator for the user suggesting that the green area is designated for staging decorations. This allows for the rest of the coffee table to stay clutter free.

生產技術: The coffee table is fabricated using both modern and traditional techniques. The top is constructed of plywood and veneer. A CNC router is used to cut the shape out. The base is made up of solid wood and is crafted together using traditional joinery techniques. This hybrid fabrication keeps production cost low without compromising on the quality of design.
設計挑戰: The creative challenge for the project was streamlining the manufacturing process. The cost of logistics can be very expensive. To keep the table affordable without offsetting the cost, I had to design the table for flat packaging. Creative wood joinery techniques were used to allow for flat packaging.
研究: The COVID-19 pandemic forced the world into isolation and working from home became the new norm. Living rooms became offices and coffee tables became workspaces. However, the issue with the new workspace was the lack of space itself. Coffee tables are smaller than desk and therefore become messier a lot quicker. I always have to reposition the table tray when using the coffee table as a desk. By incorporating the table tray into the design, I was able to improve upon the user friendly experience. The step of constantly shifting the table tray around was taken out.
靈感: The inspiration behind the coffee table is to come up with a solution for the clutter that can typically occur on top of the table. Decorations can often times be messy and obstruct the functionality of a table. A solution to this problem is to provide more surface area without being too obtrusive. Attaching an accent table to the existing coffee table will provide more surface area and also an additional platform for staging decorations. The accent table can be thought of as a clever alternative for a decorative table tray. The creative process behind the coffee table design is influenced by the digital layouts of mobile apps. Mobile apps are very effective when it comes to the ease of user experience. UX developers design with simple but yet effective visual cues. These same design cues can be found in the contour lines of the Iso Table.
項目時長: Designed in California in March 2020 and finished in September 2020.
操作流程: The name Iso derives from the accent table that sits isolated from the rest of the coffee table. The isolation creates two different platforms with two different heights. The accent table is colorful while the coffee table is subtle. This color contrast draws the attention of the user towards the accent table. The accent table now functions as a decorative table tray.
