REFLECT : A special and modern coffee table
Reflect is a coffee table special of the structure below the surface.Two main steel support hold the entire table with only two points attaching each other. However, the sructure is strong enough to bear the pressure and hold the things on the top. In addition, different kind of things can be sorted on the two table top which makes the table more tidy.
Why two table tops ?
Normal living room table has only one table top to place stuff which makes the table looks messy when all the things are put together. Thus, we came up with an idea of a table with two surfaces with the support attaches to one another that will make the table not only much more convenient to sort different kinds of things but also look special and modern.
At first, we were thinking if it’s possible to place two table top on the same support. However the structure were unstable and then difficult to balance itself. Therefore, we came up with the idea of using two supports holding each other to increase the stability, and finally concluded in this final design.
Original version:
The original model. However, the structure below were not strong enough and there was only one contact point to support the small glass would then not be locked.
Mockup & Manufacture
Physical mock ups were necessary to ensure the size and the structure of the table.
We went to the factory which proficient in processing steel product.They teach us how to polish the surface of steel.After the structure being done,my partner and I started to polish it by ourselves.
