Furniture Design - coffee Table 2011
CAMP*TIME
230,000 years ago, when people first know how to control the fire, whole family sat around the fire pit, the only fire source for warm, cooking and provided protection at night time. In the middle age, due to people move inside the building and no longer live on the field, Great Hall, the most important element in the space is the fire pi, built to gather people. Now, there are a lot of different ranges of fire pit in the market. We found out in fire pit is always important element in different culture and different period to gather people. Some people might say, people can hang out anywhere. However, the purpose of the area surround by fire pit has a magic to create a warm and relaxing atmosphere for human being to enjoy the moment. Therefore, my coffee table is design base on to use other material, instead of fire, to make the furniture piece that look and feel warm and welcome.
GET UP!
SOLUTION Basically, I want people to have
illusion when they stand farther away by only see the flame and the wood base, and fade out the round horizontal top. However, while they walk closer and they will be able to use the top for place their cup or plate. To transform from geometry wood base to soft smooth flowing flaming Plexiglas are playing with people first impression of organic shape of wood and straight flat Plexiglas. The reason for choosing ROUND horizontal instead of square top are both physical and culturally satisfying the need of coffee table. By using round table will not limited the amount of people that could be seating.
