Architect and designer Il Hoon Roh presents a coffee table that from the looks of it would make the cup fall through. But that is just an optical illusion. To generate this form, a single piece of fabric was stretched by hand into a three-dimensional form, which was then hardened by laminating with GRP. The resulting shapes were not pre-set but allowed to generate into the final shapes, replicating building processes found in nature.
Il Hoon Roh says this design is about appreciating nature�s simple, yet advanced design process. Architectural sculptures exhibiting at The Aram Gallery this year are part of the designer�s long-term investigation into geometry in nature.
