De Arctic Capulus Mensa
Mensa arctica est capulus mensa cum undis dynamicis in fundo, quae speciem visionis generat, quod adhuc mensa movens apparet. In Quinque Elementis Sinensibus, elementum aquae nigrum respondet, unde mensa in nigro pingitur ac in luce illusionis visivae fluctuum effertur. In conceptu excogitatoris, aesthetici pares sunt functionalitati. Ita, fasciae functioni obnoxiae sunt cum tabulis sustinendis, dum fluctus etiam fere adhiberi possunt: angulis summos adhiberi possunt sicut CD stat et fluctus uti pro emporium stat.

Post Designum
Fasciculus Nuntii
Merita, sodales gregis et singula technica a designatore praebita.
- Proprietates Singulares
- Arctic is made of painted metal strips with dynamic waves at the base which make the still table appears as moving. The strips and supporting frames are interwoven useful space, as well as the waves underneath can be functional. In this coffee table, aesthetics also means functionality, which is what contemporary design should fulfil in my opinion.
- Dimensiones et Involucrum
- Width1200mm x Depth600mm x Height420mm
- Notulae
- furniture, coffee table, waves, metal, strips
- Technologia Productionis
- Arctic is a coffee table made of looped metal strips with a wave bent at the bottom of each and fixed by supporting frames. Each strip is placed inversely to others alongside that interweave dynamic waves, like currents in ocean. In Chinese Five Elements, the corresponding colour to Water element is black. Therefore, the table is painted in black which can also emphasise the visual illusion of the moving currents.
- Provocatio Designandi
- As the combination with those factors is always thought to be the product only appears in utopia, Arctic is created in order to challenge the mission. Incidentally, Arctic is the second version of this project. The first version was designed with 3 types of materials, so the hardest point of this project was to reduce the material types used, at the same time to keep the dynamic outlook and to emphasise it.
- Investigatio
- In nowadays market, customers always demand products to fulfil the combination on 3 aspects: high functionality, low cost and high aesthetics. On the other hand, companies are always asking for products with: high profit, high market share and economy production process.
- Inspiratio
- The form is inspired by tidal wave hence the inspiration is conducted to mathematical sinusoidal wave with the keyword, wave. In the meantime, the functionality is inspired by park bench slats; the structure of the slats with gaps in between is considered to be highly functional. In Chinese Five Elements, the corresponding direction to Water element is north. Thus, it is named as the largest ocean in the north, Arctic.
- Duratio Operis
- The project started in April 2016 in Hong Kong and finished in April 2016 in Hong Kong.
- Cursus Operationis
- The metal strips are responsible to in term of both aesthetics and functionality. On the top corners, the strips can be used as CD stands with the supporting frames. Moreover, the waves underneath can be used as a magazine stand. For extra, users can hang a little basket on the supporting frames beside. The dynamic waves at the bottom appear as currents in the ocean, which make the still table seems to be moving hence make the living room vigorous.
