Benjamin Hubert has designed the world’s lightest timber desk as a part of an inside studio analysis mission into light-weight constructions. The desk, titled Ripple, is 2.5 metres lengthy, 1 metre huge, and weighs simply 9 kilograms.
Made utilizing 70-80% much less materials than an ordinary timber desk, Ripple may be assembled and manoeuvred by a single individual.
The desk’s spectacular power to weight ratio is enabled by an modern
manufacturing strategy of corrugating plywood for furnishings by stress
lamination, which was developed by Benjamin Hubert with Canadian
producer Corelam.
Ripple is made totally from three ply zero.8mm birch plane plywood, a timber sourced solely in Canada, the place the desk is manufactured. The fabric is identical as that utilized in development of the Hughes H-Four Hercules – popularly often called the “Spruce Goose” – the world’s largest all timber airplane. The power of the fabric in
mixture with the distinctive lamination course of means the sting of Ripple
measures simply three.5mm.
Ripple is minimal in its design language, using a easy knockdown
development. The highest floor is corrugated plywood overlaid by a flat sheet, and the A-frame legs are a sandwich development of two corrugated plywood layers.
Ripple will probably be launched at Aram Retailer throughout London Design Pageant in
September as a part of Benjamin Hubert’s inaugural UK solo exhibition, Antecedents. It is going to be that can be purchased from September 2013 on fee by Benjamin Hubert.
