Fastener Free Desk (Build)

Personal Desk //
Design and Build //

Timely achieving set goals, product creation of working, well thought out and manufactured furniture pieces designed and built on campus utilizing the people and resources available at NCSU finishing below budget.
//

Furniture, exploring the mixture of different materials not limited to but including Metal and wood, based on minimalist design and possible partial portability and collapsibility.

//
Objective: Enhancement of my knowledge, interest, and skill, of working with and mixing materials, manufacturing processes, and building methods while exploring the design and ultimately the creation of a table or desk.

Design inspiration and models of Donald Judd, Sol Lewitt, Bludot Design, and a Constructivist mentality.

FInal Desk Design: 4' x 8' Oak table top surface resting on two stainless steel support legs. There are nothing attaching the table top to the legs other than gravity. The table can be assembled in under one minute and can be slid around without dismantling.

Appears as though it is floating or not equally supported.

Materials: Stainless Steal, Wood

No Fasteners needed, Gravity keeps it together. The legs are supporting the table top surface and vise versa. The Legs can be moved inward or outward, or even rotated 180 degrees

Bent Hollow Tube Steal. Tricky to not have it puff out on the sides of the square tubing. Had to have compression on the sides while I eyeballed the curve bend.

I thought about having the legs alternate direction, but felt the Asymmetry would provide a better visual. The legs of the desk are not attached so they can be reversed at any time.

Completely disassembles without any tools needed. Here is the underside of the desk including the table legs, 'foot rest' support bar, and the table top cross beams.
