About Ripple 茶几

所使用的中間表通常位於空間的中間，給進近問題帶來困難。因此，使用服務表來彌補這一空白。為了解決這個問題，YılmazDogan在Ripple的設計中結合了兩個功能，並開發了一種動態產品設計，既可以是中間支架，也可以是服務台，該服務台可以通過不對稱的手臂移動並在遠處移動。這種動態運動與Ripple的流體設計線重合，該設計線從自然界反映出液滴的可變性以及該液滴形成的波浪。

Unique Properties: Ripple has all characteristics of a static coffee along with a dynamic structure and function of a service table. While meeting the changing needs, it naturally reflects the grace of a splashing water drop. Thanks to its asymmetric arm structure, the service platform that can rotate 360 degrees can serve all planar directions on a single axis.
Dimensions & Packaging: When upper tray is closed 130cm x 95cm x H45cm, H36
When upper tray is open, service position 180cm x 95cm x H45cm, H36

Production Technology: Ripple can be produced by modern technological tools and CNC machinery. Thanks to metal structural elements, natural massive wooden body and upper table materials such as massive, laminate, glass and marble, it can be produced in great diversity. The main body is designed as lacquered on MDF. Wave patterns can be prepared by the help of CNC processing units. The carrying eccentric rod will be produced from hardened transmission steel and will be supported.
Design Challenge: The most difficult part of this process was to construct the carrier eccentric arm of Ripple, the main character of the moving table. The part made of special hardened transmission steel will be assembled from the bottom of the table by the bearing system and will thus integrate the system.
Research: The design structure of Ripple is inspired by the leap of a drop. The process of a water drop disappearing, becoming still and returning to self after the splash is the reflection of Ripple's dynamic and static character. Ripple, as well, starts a motion by the help of its moving table than turns back to its stillness.
Inspiration: Coffee tables situated at the core of spaces usually fall insufficient due to their approach problems, which is a gap to be filled by service tables. Ripple can cover a distance with its moveable upper table and the asymmetric arm carrying it, offering the function of a service table, as well. Such dynamism coincides with Ripple's fluid design lines and the variability of a water drop and its waves.
Project Duration: The sketches of the project were first prepared and designed in March 2015. It was re-interpreted in January 2018.
Operation Flow: Thanks to its asymmetrical arm structure, the service table which rotates 360 degrees become different by moving from its stable position. Ripple starts with the movement of a lake surface by the effect of a drop of water and its dampening and returns to its former serenity. RIPPLE creates an aesthetic and functional experience by embodying different functions with the purpose of harboring reflections like a dynamic work of art rather than a coffee table.
