shrub tables

丛 桌几系列

 
 
 
 
 

the exposed sunken screws bolt togther the table top with all the branches of table legs, forming dozens of stable triangles, which make the table top part of the frame to share the stress in the legs, thus material needed to make a table is minimized. the 2-metre dining table has a top with 6mm even thickness, from edge to centre, without any space technology or exotic material, just thin steel rods, aluminium sheet and a roadside workshop.

 
 
 
 
 

安装在桌面的沉头螺丝把桌板和桌腿的若干分支连接了起来,构成一个个稳定的三角形,让桌面也成为了框架的一部分来分担桌腿受力,最少化材料的用量。没有航天科技和高新材料,寻常钢条,铝板和螺丝加上路边作坊,长餐桌的桌面也得以通体6毫米厚,从边缘,到中央。
