DESIGN NAME: The F - Side Table
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Side Table
INSPIRATION: Buzao have started product designs on lava stone in 2016, using mature modern techniques of stone processing. But over time the designer felt that beyond the state of being polished and waxed, lava stone in the natural state prompt a imagination of the dynamics of lava flow and solidification though the outer shape of the stone. Thus, the design of Ought To Retain The Original State and Valid Only If Retain The Original State started. And finally, a side table that with a stone fixed under an F clip.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A paradoxically side table suitable for sofa or chair. Modern design is about industrialization which means standard or consistent. And yet, F of standard machined form, borrowed from the industrial stool, F clip, has to be weighed with a primitive lava stone from nature, to keep itself firm. It shows the different states of lava stone on one design, combining artificial aesthetics with natural beauty.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: We choose the crushed stone produced during the volcanic stone mining process and use this low-value kind of lava stone as the base of the side table. The users need to clip the natural volcanic stone themselves to make the side table firm. It is necessary to keep the upright end of the side table with the weight of the natural volcanic stone and angle of placing it. The random volcanic stone is fixed by the brass part of the F-clip, which can be adjusted up and down as needed.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project designed in October 2016 in China and entered the market in October 2017 in China
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Lava stone is a product of volcanic movement on Earth. The lava stone of desktop is processed with mature stone processing techniques and the lava stone of base is in natural shape. In order to keep a stable supply of natural lava stone and realize the max production, we choose to use the side material of blasting during mining of lava stone. Only to choose the right size and no need to proceed complex processes to complete a exquisite product.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Width 330mm, Depth 330mm, Height 500mm
TAGS: Lava stone, Volcanic stone, Side table, Natural Stone, Blacl, Brass, Nature
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The reason why we choose volcanic stone as the main material for design is that we hope to show the natural texture of lava stone in addition to mechanical processing and fine treatment, as well as to express a free and initial state that close to nature.
