← Sapienstone SmartSlab
The SmartSlab Table uses discreet digital devices embedded in a thin, ceramic table-top in order to control temperature at various points across the table’s surface. The table acts as an artistic investigation for SmartSlab, a new LTC sensor / actuator composite material, developed by Kram / Weisshaar for the Iris Ceramica Group.
Together with a small team I worked on every aspecet of the project, from material research, the entire electrical engineering, thermal dynamics simulations, and microcontroller programming.
First shown at the Salone del Mobile in 2016, six SmartSlab tables were aligned in the historical Sala Tiepolo of Palazzo Clerici and used for two dinners cooked by three-star Michelin chef Massimo Bottura.
