關於 Nova 咖啡枱

Nova係一張以植物萌芽同生長為靈感嘅咖啡枱。彎曲嘅枱面同枱腳跟隨向光性嘅概念，令造型帶有柔和而有機嘅特質。不對稱嘅排列令佢似一個正在生長嘅生命體，而唔係一件靜態嘅物件。Nova採用黑胡桃木製造，選材旨在表達自然同生長嘅主題，表面處理保留咗天然嘅質感。枱嘅尺寸為高34.5厘米、闊81.5厘米、深94厘米。呢個設計追求有機形態同日常功能之間嘅平衡。

獨特屬性: Nova integrates biology with design, going beyond mere bioinspiration, biomorphism, and biomimicry and delving deeply into the intricate mechanisms of biological behavior and ecological systems. This coffee table challenges the conventional design boundaries, tackling the symbiotic relationship between nature and human creativity. Adopting an asymmetrical form, Nova stands not only as a static furniture but also as a growing life form, continuously infusing vitality into users' daily lives.
尺寸同包裝: Height 34.5cm x Width 81.5cm x Depth 94cm
標籤: Biological Design, Phototropism, Asymmetrical Form, Black Walnut, Sustainability.
生產技術: This structural innovation strengthens the artistic expression of the furniture while reaching a new height in functionality and practicality. For instance, the curved design of the tabletop and table legs imitates the natural curves of plants, offering users a soft and organic sense. In terms of material selection, the choice of black walnut wood can better convey the theme of nature and growth. The surface treatment adopts a process with natural texture, making the whole furniture more vital.
設計挑戰: The core challenge I encountered was to transcend mere surface-level bio-inspired design and engage in a more profound dialogue with nature. To maintain a nuanced balance between functionality and organic form was tricky as it necessitates not only aesthetic grasp but also structural calculation. Consequently, this project is a result of successfully translating organic form and plant behavior into furniture structure.
研究: By thoroughly investigating strategies of applying natural strategies to innovation, I discovered the essence of "Bio-Logical design," which inherited the features of historical design concepts such as biomimicry and organicism. It is a novel paradigm that goes beyond nature-inspired design methodology, exploring the inner logic of natural elements. By applying functional and harmoniously operated principles in the design realm, I intend to readjust the relationship between humans and nature.
靈感: Inspired by the germination and growth of plants, this project resonates with the beginning of life and its vigorous development. By incorporating the idea of phototropism into the morphological design of the tabletop and table legs, I intend to express the pursuit of energy and vitality. After contemplating the essence of biological systems, I created this furniture that transcends typical bio-inspired design, embodies aesthetic beauty, and serves functional and sustainable purposes.
項目時長: The project started as a design in October 2023 in Los Angeles and finished in March 2024 in Los Angeles.
操作流程: In a living space, Nova is not only an aesthetically-pleasing coffee table but also an inspiring presence that invites deeper talks with nature. Users can engage with its surface as well as its spirit: sitting in front of this table and taking a sip of coffee, users are expected to experience the spiritual power it embedded while speculating on the profound wisdom of the natural world.
