CABLE MOULDING – MOVEMENT AND DYNAMISM IN ORNAMENT ART

摘要

The paper intends to present an ornament, less used in decoration because of the practical difficulties in manufacturing, either manually or in the industrial system. In the paper are presented the elements related to the design (geometry) of the cable mouldings, both for constant and variable pitch type and also the kinematics of generating these ornaments. Finally the working schemes of processing these ornaments in the wood industrial system are presented, the ornaments being used to decorate pieces of furniture. The cable moulding type decoration gives to furniture and building products a certain dynamism and vigor, wherefore remains permanently in the attention of designers in construction and furniture fields and also of the interior designers.
