关于 Folding 边桌

"折叠"是一款兼具几何雕塑感的边桌，可从各个角度欣赏。桌体由一整块层压硬木板材制成，切割为四块后沿锐角与钝角重新接合，使造型呈现出仿佛被折叠的效果。修长的渐变倒角令多面棱边更显精致。组装过程中运用了圆榫接合、木工夹具及特殊的夹紧工艺。板材经过三次"折叠"，四个面各自呈现出不同的视觉效果。各方向尺寸均为483毫米。

独特属性: 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.
尺寸与包装: Width 483 mm x Depth 483 mm x Height 483 mm
标签: folding, table, geometric, sculptural, side table, origami, taper, facet
生产技术: 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
设计挑战: 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.
研究: 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
灵感: 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.
项目周期: February 2025 - September 2025
操作流程: 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.
