Home > Winners > #168213




DESIGN DETAILS
DESIGN NAME:
Wings

PRIMARY FUNCTION:
Sideboard

INSPIRATION:
Wings in Gothic and Art Deco styles represent celestial and spiritual elements. In Gothic style, wings symbolize angels, creating a spiritual atmosphere. In Art Deco, they symbolize speed and progress. The wings in both styles express humanity's longing for freedom, progress, and celestial ideals. Aesthetically, wings add beauty, grace, and elegant touch, while symbolically conveying a sense of elevation, spirituality, and purification.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Designed with the mystical inspiration of angels and their wings, this sideboard offers a fusion of styles: Gothic and Art Deco. The meticulously crafted copper wings, intricately engraved onto the wooden cabinet surfaces, bring a spiritual touch to the furniture, creating an original and enchanting appearance. The dark-toned wooden body and the tapered metal legs that give the console a floating-like effect, complete the extraordinary aesthetic of Wings, enhancing the sense of luxury.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
Wings features a specially designed door mechanism that offers users an elegant opening experience. The doors open with a light touch, revealing the interior, while the concealed hinge system ensures a seamless surface flow. The interior compartments, covered in luxurious fabric, provide an ideal space for storing valuable items.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
Designed in 2023 for luxury interiors with its high craftsmanship quality and artistic form, Wings was completed in 2024. The entire design and production process took place in Ankara, Türkiye.

FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY:
Furniture Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Wings consists of wooden surfaces shaped with high-precision Cnc cutting and traditional handcrafting. The copper-coated wing details are meticulously hand-carved and seamlessly integrated into the body. The matte lacquer finish on the surface balances light reflections, while the velvet-textured interior coatings enhance the sense of luxury. Handcrafted copper legs with organic shapes enhance the piece's dynamic presence.

SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES:
Width: 201 cm, Height: 62 cm, Depth: 50 cm.

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.

Observing the exquisite design and meticulous craftsmanship of the "Wings" sideboard fills me with sincere admiration for the harmonious fusion of Gothic and Art Deco styles, which skillfully evokes a profound sense of spirituality and elegance through the finely detailed copper-wing engravings. 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. For creating an inspiring work that eloquently captures humanity's timeless aspiration for freedom and elevation, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to the outstanding creativity and craftsmanship of Yilmaz Dogan.
