DESIGN NAME: Hangar
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Dining Table
INSPIRATION: The design project took inspiration from the designer’s exploration of an old but operational military hangar during his military service. It was a large building with an extensive floor area used for housing military vehicles and aircraft. The utilitarian space had sturdy pillar support structures connected to seemingly endless trusses that hold the roof. Charmed by the space, the designer took the hangar as a reference and expressed its characteristics to the table design.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The Hangar table design project was initiated to address the business challenges faced by the enterprise. The enterprise sought to add a table to their collection of distinct identity in which imbues charm, nostalgia and utilitarianism. The outcome had to be a table that differentiates itself from all tables in the market, a table that is distinctively recognisable and true to the brand ethos.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: Hangar can be Knocked-down into 6 components and is packed into 3 boxes. It comes with graphical assembly instructions and it is easy to assemble.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in March 2018 and ended in late August 2018. Hangar was exhibited in Furniture China 2018 in September
