What method is the 'backing' mentioned in the Nua Table description?
When looking through the specifications of the Nua Table and encountering the expression that the bottom of the glass is backed, one wonders how this differs from ordinary glass-top furniture.
Backing is a method of reinforcing by attaching another material to the reverse side of a base; on the Nua Table, it refers to finishing by adhering the same color as the body to the underside of the glass.
Backing is a term derived from traditional mounting techniques where an additional layer is attached to the back of paper or fabric to firmly hold the shape and support the color. In furniture manufacturing, it refers to a process where a colored film or finishing material is adhered closely and fixed to the back of a transparent material such as glass.
JACKSON CHAMELEON's Nua Table has the same color as its high-gloss body applied to the underside of the top glass[1]. As the same color as the base shows through inside the transparent glass, it creates a sense of unity as if the tabletop and pedestal are seamlessly connected as one[2].
This construction secures the smooth texture and easy stain maintenance of glass, while also playing a role in protecting the painted surface of the lower body from being scratched directly.
The detailed composition of the color film used for backing and the bonding method have not yet been confirmed.
