About Orb Сервант

Сервант Orb спалучае элегантнасць ар-дэка з візантыйскімі архітэктурнымі ўплывамі, чэрпаючы натхненне з Старажытнарымскага іпадрома ў Стамбуле. Яго сіметрычная форма, аэрадынамічныя крывыя і круглыя бакавыя дзверцы максімальна выкарыстоўваюць прастору, захоўваючы пры гэтым вытанчаную эстэтыку. Выраблены з драўніны ручной апрацоўкі з лакавым пакрыццём, шпанаваным інтэр'ерам і прэцызійна апрацаванымі паверхнямі, Orb інтэгруе індывідуальную сістэму завесаў для бесперашкоднай функцыянальнасці. Залатыя акцэнты ўзмацняюць яго раскошны выгляд, увасабляючы гістарычны ўплыў у сучасным дызайне.

Production Technology
Orb is crafted with high-quality lacquer finishes and custom metal details. Its body is made of of hand-crafted shaped wood and the interior has wood veneered, rail shelf units. Precision-cut surfaces achieved through cnc technology provide a smooth and sophisticated appearance. The circular door mechanism, supported by a unique hinge system, enhances functionality. Gold accents elevate the luxurious feel of the design.
Design Challenge
The biggest design challenge of Orb was integrating the circular side door mechanism without compromising functionality. This was resolved through a custom hinge system and interior cladding solutions. A dynamic opening mechanism was developed while preserving the design’s seamless form, achieving both aesthetics and practicality.
Research
The design process of Orb began with an in-depth study of the structural elements of the Ancient Roman Hippodrome and Byzantine architecture. By analyzing circular and linear forms, a balance was created to adapt these influences into contemporary furniture design. The selected materials harmonize historical inspiration with modern functionality.
Inspiration
Orb is inspired by the Ancient Roman Hippodrome. Built in the 3rd century AD on the site of present day Istanbul, this architectural marvel was a major gathering place for society, hosting chariot races and major events. The large-scale circular and linear elements of the Hippodrome influenced Orb’s design language. Its balanced form reflects a historic heritage within contemporary interiors.
Project Duration
Designed in Istanbul, where it was inspired, and manufactured in Ankara, the Orb sideboard was completed in 2023.
Operation Flow
Orb provides a unique opening experience with its specially designed hinge system. The side doors open seamlessly with a gentle push, revealing an interior elegantly finished in Bosphorus Deep blue tone. The adjustable shelf system ensures both functionality and flexibility, offering a refined and practical storage solution.
