Mind Boggling!

"Tidal Datums" by Adrien Segal

Photobucket

adrien segal is a designer based in san francisco, california. she mainly creates furniture and home
accessories, many of which take inspiration from information and mathematics. ‘tidal datums’ is
a perfect example of her process. the table is made from wood and takes its form from the data
graphs measuring the tides at san francisco bay over a 4 week period. segal turns this date into
a tangible material, building a table with this information directly embedded within. segal uses this
data based process for its ability to generate dynamic forms and also as a way to experience
information through the body.
