A prepaus de Kromme Taula Bassa

Inspirada pel motiu natural de las ondas de l'ocean, la Taula Kromme utiliza una sola banda de fullat per simbolizar lo flus continu de la mar. Realizada enterament en noguièr massís, las seccions de fullat son laminadas en utilizant pèças finas modeladas ensems per formar una corba esculturala. Suports minimals en alumini son ajustats per la resisténcia. Lo platèu de veire permet una vista neta de la veiadura del bòsc dessota. La Taula Kromme es una afirmacion esculturala per aqueles que vòlon una pèça de mobiliér que siá a l'encòp eleganta e foncionala.

Proprietats Unicas: Crafted entirely out of solid walnut veneer, the Kromme Table uses a very simple curvature to allow for a glass top. The veneer sections are laminated using 1/16” pieces molded together to form a sculpture like curve. Minimal supports crafted from aluminum are added for strength. The glass top provides a clear view of the wood grain beneath. The design is inspired by ocean waves, using one long strip of veneer to symbolize the continuous flow of the sea. A sculptural statement for those who want a piece of furniture that is both stylish and functional.

Tecnologia de Produccion: Due to the nature of how veneers are cut with a knife, not a blade, it produces almost no waste as opposed to a thicker saw producing about 40% sawdust. While the visible layers of the piece are straight grain walnut, the interior uses the less desirable sections you typically get from true veneer. Such as sap wood. Those were placed into the center layers which ended up creating very minimal waste.

Attention to detain when creating the form was the key to a successful and accurate production. The form used to create the molds was fixed to a flat surface using dovetail sliding joinery. It served as a perfect track and avoided any movement while clamping.
Desaffo de Dissènh: How to build this long flowing structure out of a single strip of wood was the main challenge. Steam bending was another option that was explored. However, you need to cut strips at a thicker weight to still maintain sustainability to some extent. And ripping 90 inch strips 4 times per section proved to produce too much waste. Thats's when bent lamination of thinner veneers was decided upon for construction.
Recèrca: The initial concept of this design was inspired by ocean waves. I wanted to create a piece of functional and beautiful furniture that was constructed in a unique way. Hence the long single strips of veneer used to laminate the structure. You don’t often see bent lamination executed in this complexity. Which was part of the motivation behind this method of construction. Sure, joinery could have been used. However the result would not be the long flowing grain often seen in nature. One of the details that was important to maintain.
Inspiracion: The goal was to create a table that was unique in both construction, form and inspired by nature. It was also important from a design point of view to be very simple, hence staying with one fluid piece of veneer for the construction. A finished piece that was just as bold as it is simple.
Durada del Projècte: This project was started in July 2023 in New York City. It was executed and finished in upstate New York in August of 2024.
Flux Operacional: The result is a sculptural piece of furniture that is as much of a conversation starter as it is functional.
