| DESIGN NAME: Envo PRIMARY FUNCTION: Side Table INSPIRATION: The prior motivation when designing this piece was to create a sculpture-like form while being functional, simple, and light. The desire to create a form that challenge the dynamics of a space initiated the design. While playing with geometric shapes, the idea emerged that the pieces would overlap and look like reflections of each other to create a simple but confounding experience. UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: Opposite placement of the same geometric layers creates different visual experiences from every angle in this product. This simple yet significant piece is not just a side table. It offers a small library and display space that emerges spontaneously with its form. The natural diabase stone, the material of this side table, makes the design thin yet durable and adds a sculptural decorative appearance. OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: This product primarily serves as a side table but it is also a small storage and display for books, vinyls, or any other objects. There is not just one front, back or side of this product. It will be seen differently from every angle according to its placement and will create different visual dynamics for the space and for the user. PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The project started in January 2021 in Alanya, Turkey and completed in March 2021 in Istanbul, Turkey. FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Furniture Design |
PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The material of this design is Diabase Stone, which is a volcanic stone from Turkey. The production of the material starts with cutting slabs from these organic-shaped rock blocks. After collecting the slabs it is shaped according to the determined dimensions with a CNC stone cutting machine and brushed with pressurized water as a surface treatment to have a raw but pleasing surface. After the machine operations are completed, the parts are assembled by hand and the final touches are made. SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: Height: 52 cm Width: 55 cm Depth: 30 cm The material can be brushed or polished surface in this side table. TAGS: side table, stone, marble, diabase, natural material, sculptural RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The research of this design was mostly based on the materials characteristics. Before coming its final form, it had the process of testing different types of stone and marbles in thin layers, to ensure the resistance, dimensions, weight and functional properties for a side table. The possibility of cutting diabase stone to 1 cm thickness and still remaining the durability was the key for choosing this material. CHALLENGE: The most challenging part was deciding the material. The design made the feeling that the material should be appealing to make this piece more unique. The idea was to use a natural and sustainable material but to make it thin it should be stone or marble. Working with this hard material had also its own obstacles like technological and production difficulties.
