The two raised ends of the QiaoAn prevented items from falling, and the same feature is applied to Flow. The table measures 1800 by 800 by 750 millimeters and is made of black walnut and brass. The wooden and metal parts are shaped with computer numerical control machining, and the top is built with a mortise and tenon structure. Craftsmen then finish each surface by fine hand grinding.
