In 21st-century urban life, the relationship between living room and dining room has gradually become one of mutual substitution. As the dining room takes over the living room's function and becomes the center of gravity among friends, and the living room becomes the family's shared living space, what should the designer respond with. This project uses shipbuilding techniques to create a 3.6-meter-long table without welding — a bridge between guests.

It is intentionally positioned diagonally to provide more space for movement during gatherings. The vaulted arch backdrop, stretching from the platform to the ceiling, metaphorically resembles a sail, complementing biblical symbolism to the table's design.
The spacious living room is designed as a social hub where the guests can convene in an open and relaxed environment. Inspired by the story of Noah’s ark, the table is crafted by a primitive method, which is built up with 5-millimeter stainless plates, assembled by cross lap joints structure without any use of bolts or screws, and reinforced by glass materials.
