Description
The challenge for the stone table supported at one point comes from the reinterpretation on the weight of marble.
Even though marble has rich texture, because it is heavy and brittle, it is not suitable to be defined as the only one material or structure in furniture design.
Lacking of tensile strength in stone inspires the designer to envision a table surface expending from one support. The thickness of the table changes according to the change of shear stress in the cantilever. On top of that, the enlarged table legs enhance the structure system of the cantilever table. In the end, the table is very stable as it looks light and intimate.
The table top is 1mX1.6m. It is sculpted by a CNC machine from one piece of stone. The table legs are also sculpted by craftsman from one piece of stone. The extreme edge of table surface is 15mm. Marble used here is Universe Gray.
