Arc: A Unique and Elegant Coffee Table

A Modern Architectural Inspiration

The Arc Table is part of the ARC series, which was first introduced with the ARC Guitar Stand, another original creation by Hung Yuan Chang. The designers aimed to create a pattern that is both elegant and enchanting, without being overly decorated. The result is a table that stands out with its unique shape and structure.

What sets the Arc Table apart is the way the ARC stripes are made and connected. The designers utilized laminated veneer techniques, combining three strips to form a spherical structure. Each strip is carefully connected to two others, resulting in a stable three-dimensional triangular body. This meticulous craftsmanship gives the table its distinctive appearance and strength.

Measuring 77cm in width, 77cm in depth, and 48cm in height, the Arc Table is crafted from hardwood using joint and laminate bending techniques. Its lightweight nature and visually appealing structure make it a standout piece of furniture that can also be appreciated as a work of art.

The design process for the Arc Table presented several challenges. The unique structural placement required precise calculations for bending and joining each piece of wood. Overcoming these challenges resulted in a table that not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also offers a comfortable and visually striking addition to any space.

The Arc Table was created in Taipei, with the project commencing in 2021 and completed in 2022. It is a testament to the designers' dedication to creating a piece that combines functionality, uniqueness, and beauty.

Recognized for its outstanding design, the Arc Table was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category in 2022. This prestigious award is given to creations that demonstrate excellence in design, practicality, and innovation, meeting professional and industrial requirements.

With its modern architectural inspiration, unique structure, and elegant appearance, the Arc Table is a true testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of Hung Yuan Chang and Yu Hsien Chen. Whether used as a functional coffee table or displayed as a piece of art, it is sure to elevate any living space.
