Oor God's Math Kabinet
God se Wiskunde is 'n kabinet geïnspireer deur wiskundige patrone wat in die natuur voorkom. Die Fibonacci-spiraal is die sentrale ontwerpelement, en dit word omring deur die goue verhouding en die sirkel. Die spiraal is gebou as 'n gesweiste staalstruktuur wat die houtliggaam ondersteun en daardeur beweeg. Die kabinet het twee deure en drie kompartemente, en staan op 'n hoogte wat vir gemaklike gebruik gekies is. Palissander-, voëloogesdoring- en cocobolo-fineerlaminate verminder die hoeveelheid soliede hout wat nodig is. Die kabinet meet 1219 mm breed, 508 mm diep en 1981 mm hoog.

Agter die Ontwerp
Persstel
Krediete, spanlede en tegniese besonderhede verskaf deur die ontwerper.
- Unieke Eienskappe
- God's Math successfully melds multiple reoccurring mathematical phenomena in nature into an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomena, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element, surrounded by the Golden Ratio and the divine circle. A fully functional cabinet seemingly floats in an ergonomically optimized location on a piece which is as interesting to look at as it is efficient and practical in its use - Much the same way nature finds order out of chaos.
- Afmetings & Verpakking
- Width 1219 mm x Depth 508 mm x Height 1981 mm
- Etikette
- Fibonacci, mid-century modern, cabinet, metal, veneer, God, math
- Produksietegnologie
- Project included welding, woodworking and advanced lamination techniques. Rosewood, birdseye maple and Cocobolo were veneer laminates to ensure a sustainable design. Custom forms and creative veneering processes required for both scale and non-linear faces of the piece.
- Ontwerpuitdaging
- In order for the spiral to accurately represent the Fibonacci Spiral, the mathematical elements were scaled up and represented by the steel welded superstructure. The spiral itself is three distinct components: veneers bent around a form, pressed in a form, and laminated carved pieces of wood. Tangentially related, incorporation of the steel structure into the spiral as it sits within and extending through the spiral.
- Navorsing
- Research conducted on both advanced methods for lamination and the recurring mathematical phenomenons found in nature. A great deal of time was spent pondering how to create an aesthetically pleasing and fully functional interplay of these phenomenons, with the Fibonacci Spiral serving as the central design element. Some experiments were run on stability of laminates for such a large and heavy piece, as well as veneering outside curves.
- Inspirasie
- The repeating order in our universe, from galaxies to microorganisms shows repeating patterns which can be demonstrated through mathematics. Italian mathematician, Leonardo of Pisa, wrote about this in 1202 in his book, Liber Abaci. The golden ratio is another recurring mathematical ratio which has captured the attention of some of the greatest minds in history. No design referencing God’s math would be replete without the divinity represented by the circle.
