Verde Alpi wave table
Design study 01. A long racetrack top on three stacked pedestals, exploring levelling and vein matching across a sculpted base.
The design question.
Sculpted stone bases are popular and hard to get right: each ring is cut from a different part of the slab, so the veining has to be planned across all of them, and three pedestals under one long top must share the load evenly.
This study identifies the drawings, support checks and material-layout decisions needed to assess the design. Feasibility and production details require review for a defined project.
Three things that could go wrong.
A top on three pedestals needs a defined support and levelling arrangement. Review height adjustment, load sharing and the checks required for the proposed geometry.
A numbered cutting layout can coordinate the ring sequence and vein direction. Confirm the arrangement against the actual selected slabs.
Review transport orientation, bracing, lifting points and access using the final dimensions and measured part weights.
From drawing to packing.
The sequence below is a design-review guide. Reference images explain the decisions and do not document the manufacture of this piece.
- Step 01
Drawing
Top, three pedestals and ring layout on one sheet.
- Step 02
Slab
Select and identify the actual slabs; review their faces, treatments and the proposed position of each ring.
- Step 03
Cutting
Confirm the cutting sequence, ring geometry and suitable fabrication method with the workshop.
- Step 04
Finishing
Specify the surface finish and review bonding, joints and the completed pedestal geometry.
- Step 05
Trial fit
Define the trial-fit, levelling and movement checks before approving the support arrangement.
- Step 06
Packing
Agree part separation, crate design, measured weights and the delivery access plan.
Checks for this design.
The items below define evidence to agree for a proposed piece. They are not measured results or a test certificate for this reference design.
| Review item | Design question | Evidence for project approval |
|---|---|---|
| Level and support | How will the three supports share load and be levelled? | Approved support details, defined tolerance and recorded measurements. |
| Movement | How will stability be assessed for this geometry? | A defined check method and documented outcome for the proposed piece. |
| Vein layout | How will the ring sequence follow the selected slabs? | Numbered cut layout and corresponding approval images. |
| Packing and access | How will each part be supported, lifted and delivered? | Measured part/crate weights and an agreed handling and access plan. |
The sculpted form.
Use the long racetrack top and stacked-pedestal arrangement as a starting point. The material, ring layout, support system, drawing and delivery plan need project-specific review and approval.
