| DESIGN NAME: Bridge DNA PRIMARY FUNCTION: Coffee Table INSPIRATION: This work centers on the relationship between bridge structure, construction methods and timberwork, coming from the processes of design and manufacturing.

The main structure is in a horizontally positioned cross form. The tabletop is in a diamond shape on the main structure. A triangular matrix is used as a vertical structure.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Maple, Walnut, Brass SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: 46cm H x 180cm W x 50cm D TAGS: Furniture, Table, Bridge, Lightweight, structure, sculpture RESEARCH ABSTRACT: My research concentrated on the method of embedding bridge structure forms into furniture design. a bare structure without any decorations could be directly used and taken as the appearance of a piece of work , like a bridge. Even though bridges have no or only very minimal decorations, people still think it is beautiful CHALLENGE: The main function of a bridge is to cross terrain like a valley or a river with the main supporting beams standing on the ground of two ends. It has to be a planar geometry so that transporting goods or people is possible. Essentially, the difference between a bridge and a piece of furniture is that furniture is movable with no fixed connection to the ground. From that, I put the whole structure of the bridge upside down, and made the ground become the tabletop, ADDED DATE: 2019-02-26 11:23:18 TEAM MEMBERS (1) : IMAGE CREDITS: Photographer Elizabeth Torgerson-Lamark |
