DESIGN NAME: FLUX table
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Table
INSPIRATION: Mathematical rules behind their formation of Islamic art and Architecture
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Mehran Gharleghi and Amin Sadeghy from Studio INTEGRATE have created “Flux Table” within their exploration of fusing the legacy of Islamic art with contemporary modes of computation. The intricate geometry and pattern of this table is derived from a basic "Toranj", a mathematical pattern used in Iranian Architecture; from which a smooth transition between two layers of strict geometric pattern is constructed. The generated form is manufactured using digital fabrication technologies.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: evolution of culture in geometry and its function
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: the project started in September 2012 to Jun 2013 all in London
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: CNC miling technology on high dense foam with Polyurethane color.The end product is a PU coated dense foam table.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: very light, with the dimension of 180 x 100 x 80 cm
TAGS: Integrate, Flux, Table, Islamic, geometry, studio INTEGRATE
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Mehran Gharleghi and Amin Sadeghy from Studio INTEGRATE have created “Flux Table” within their exploration of fusing historically rooted geometries with contemporary modes of computation. The intricate form and pattern of this table is derived from a basic "Toranj", a mathematical pattern used in Iranian Architecture; from which a smooth transition between two layers of strict geometric pattern is constructed. The geometrical pattern at the top surface fuses to the bottom layer through a series of multi-directional arches. The generated form is manufactured using digital fabrication.
CHALLENGE: culturally evolving typology that existed in historical precedent using existing and historical morphology coupled with contemporary technique with new mode of design. reduce of production cost and creating smooth transition between two strictly geometrical layers to be able to keep the historical relevant.
