FLUX Table Table

FLUX table Table is an innovative furniture design that exemplifies the fusion of traditional Islamic geometric patterns with contemporary computational design methods. Created by designers Mehran Gharleghi and Amin Sadeghy, this sophisticated piece draws inspiration from the mathematical pattern known as Toranj, which is prominently featured in Iranian architecture. The table's distinctive design showcases a complex transformation between two layers of strict geometric patterns, connected through a series of multi-directional arches that create a fluid, seamless transition. Manufactured using advanced digital fabrication techniques, specifically CNC milling technology, the table is crafted from high-density foam with a polyurethane coating, resulting in a lightweight yet durable structure measuring 180 x 100 x 80 centimeters. The design represents a significant achievement in bridging historical architectural elements with modern production methods, demonstrating how traditional Islamic art can be reinterpreted through contemporary design language. This innovative approach earned the table a Golden A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, recognizing its exceptional contribution to furniture design through its unique combination of cultural heritage and technological advancement. The table's form not only serves its functional purpose but also acts as a sculptural piece that challenges conventional furniture design paradigms, showcasing how mathematical principles can be transformed into tangible, aesthetically pleasing objects that maintain cultural relevance while pushing the boundaries of contemporary design.
