Home > Winners > #101376




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Tonk Mint

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Concrete Wall Tiles

INSPIRATION:
Nature is at the heart of design, as it is at the heart of everything. Tonk has adopted the basic principle of using forms in nature by abstracting them in accordance with its own design philosophy, rather than simply imitating nature. This year the new series focuses on this understanding and reflects directly to the wall tile models. A form study was performed inspired by mint leaves in the "Mint" model.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
We add new features and configurations to 170 years old concrete. We end up with a contemporary, creative, sincere product. Thanks to the strong 3D design, one mint model give us an opportunity to create more than ten different motives on the wall

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Mint is a very playful product, which enables designers to show their creativity and in this way which gives them high satisfaction in the design process. The designers can get different motives by playing around with the angles and the positions of the product. Moreover, Mint is very easy to install; it is just glued to the wall with ceramic adhesives.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The project started in September 2019 and finalized in January 2020 in Istanbul, Turkey.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
We use GRFC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) for our products. We use steel moulding techniques to bring our models to perfection.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
h: 10.5 cm w: 24.2 cm thk: 1.8 cm

TAGS:
GFRC, concrete, wall tile, nature-inspired, 3D

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Architectural design has been changing from traditional to contemporary, from complicated to lean. The new-old materials become in demand. Architects and interior designers are looking for new features and configurations of old-timers, such as concrete, glass, steel and wood. Mint is a reflection of this trend. Additionally, its design is inspired by nature. We have analyzed patterns in nature, chosen the motives of mint and stylized them to finalize our design.

CHALLENGE:
The biggest challenge in Mint's design was to stylize the nature-inspired mint motive to match the distinguishing factor of all Tonk designs: to stylize the motive to enable the designer to create different motives when used with different angles and patterns.
