Executive Desk - Metaphor (Arch Form)
CONCEPT / IDEATION Chose a metaphor of Arch to come up with an unique product form
The metaphor used for this project is the arch and the lemniscate. The understructure is in form of a sleek arch, with a lemniscate residing on top. Historically the arch represents a gateway to heavens, and has been used often in structures and monuments. To me, arches talk to us about opportunity and offer different perspective to different people. The lemniscate (commonly used as a symbol for infinitely) is a geometrical representation of the endless and eternal nature of energy. The form as whole symbolizes the infinite nature of our spirit, thoughts, and potential.
This same can be said of the man behind this exclusive CEO’S desk. The glass of top quality is manufactured by a special process, which renders images of exclusivity, and ability to stand apart.
WORK TOP: MATERIAL : Special glass which imparts warm feeling at the same time renders images of exclusivity.
PROCESS:Molten glass laid in Layers, with colour frit formed rendering at each layer, to create a depth.
UNDERSTRUCTURE:MATERIAL : Carbon Fiber reinforced plastic
PROCESS:Spray Lay-Up
SURFACE FINISH:BLACK ANODIZED
