PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Wings consists of wooden surfaces shaped with high-precision Cnc cutting and traditional handcrafting.

TAGS: Wings, Gothic, Art Deco, Angel, Wing, Wood, Copper, Luxury, Mystical, Design
RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research on the aesthetic and symbolic use of wing forms in Gothic and Art Deco architecture formed the foundation of Wings concept. Historical and contemporary design approaches were studied to develop a surface language enhanced with elegant curves and dynamic movement. Material selection and the interplay of light and shadow were optimized to create a strong design identity.
CHALLENGE: One of the biggest design challenges of Wings was the flawless three-dimensional modeling of the wing-shaped surface. A combination of Cnc cutting and handcrafting was used to achieve an organic flow. A special hinge mechanism was developed to make the opening system of the doors invisible. This preserved the integrity of the design while enhancing functionality.

I am particularly captivated by the sophisticated interplay between the dark-toned wood body and the gracefully tapered metal legs, which together create an impression of floating, enhancing the furniture's luxurious and celestial character. Additionally, the thoughtful integration of advanced CNC techniques with traditional handcrafting to achieve the organic curves and seamless integration of decorative elements demonstrates an exceptional commitment to precision and innovation, resulting in an extraordinary aesthetic experience. The "Wings" piece exemplifies how meticulous research into historical symbolism and architectural forms can be masterfully translated into contemporary furniture design, enriching spaces with both beauty and meaningful depth.
