关于 God's Math 储物柜
《上帝的数学》是一件受自然界中数学规律启发而设计的储物柜。斐波那契螺旋线是其核心设计元素,周围环绕着黄金比例与圆形构图。螺旋线以焊接钢结构打造,既支撑木质柜体,又贯穿其中。柜体设有两扇柜门和三个储物空间,整体高度经过精心设定,以便舒适取用。紫檀木、鸟眼枫木与可可波罗木饰面胶合板的运用,减少了实木用量。储物柜尺寸为宽1219毫米、深508毫米、高1981毫米。

- 独特属性
- 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.

- 生产技术
- 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.
- 设计挑战
- 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.
- 研究
- 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.
- 灵感
- 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.
- 项目周期
- Project began in November, 2019 in Greenville, SC and finished in April, 2020. Currently stored in studio.
- 操作流程
- working cabinet with two doors and three compartments.
