De Folding Mensa Lateralis
Folding est mensa lateralis quae etiam sculpturae geometricae munere fungitur, ex omnibus lateribus spectanda. Mensa ex una tabula lignea dura laminata facta est, in quattuor partes secta et rursus per angulos acutos et obtusos coniuncta, ita ut forma plicata esse videatur. Longae orae gracilescentes obliquae margines multiplanas expoliunt. Iuncturae claviculares, formae fabriles atque rationes constringendi peculiares in compositione adhibentur. Tabula ter plicatur, et unumquodque e quattuor lateribus diversum aspectum praebet. Singulae dimensiones 483 mm metiuntur.

- Proprietates Singulares
- This side table design is a geometric sculpture meant to be enjoyed from all sides. It is made from one laminated slab, cut and joined back together on acute and obtuse angles, to give the impression that it has been folded into a table-like form.
- Dimensiones et Involucrum
- Width 483 mm x Depth 483 mm x Height 483 mm

- folding, table, geometric, sculptural, side table, origami, taper, facet
- Technologia Productionis
- The first step in the process is to make a laminated hardwood slab. Then the slab is cut into four pieces. The use of woodworking jigs and fixtures is necessary to cut the unusual angles and tapered chamfers. Dowel-type joinery and special clamping methods are used for the final assembly
- Provocatio Designandi
- In minimalist designs a recurring challenge is finding the sweet spot between simplicity and complexity. Based on the initial design concept it was clear that the base and top of the table needed to be parallel planes. Two folds would have been the minimum to accomplish this but would have also been too simple to be interesting. Four folds would have been too complex and less structurally sound. The conclusion that this design required the slab to be folded three times provided the constraints and scope for the remainder of the design work.
- Investigatio
- For this design the portion of the effort that was mathematical was far grater than in most other design projects. Although at first sight the folding table may appear elegantly simple, transforming this concept into reality was a highly complex trigonometric challenge. Each adjustment to the aesthetics required a long series of recalculations
- Inspiratio
- The objective in this design was to create something that is both simple and radically new. The design process began with experiments folding a rectangular strip of paper. After transitioning from working with the flat plane of the paper to the thick wooden slab, the incorporation of the long tapered chamfers became aesthetically necessary - one of the most delightful elements of the design.
- Duratio Operis
- February 2025 - September 2025
- Cursus Operationis
- The folding table is best suited for use as a side table in an open space that provides as many unobstructed views as possible. Since it appears different from each of it's four sides, the front of the table depends on the preference of the viewer.
