The Design

About Orb Kredenac

Orb kredenac spaja Art Deco eleganciju sa bizantijskim arhitektonskim uticajima, crpeći inspiraciju iz Drevnog rimskog Hipodroma u Istanbulu. Njegova simetrična forma, aerodinamične krivine i kružna bočna vrata maksimiziraju prostor uz održavanje profinjene estetike. Izrađen od ručno oblikovanog drveta sa lakirnim završnim slojevima, furniranom unutrašnošću i precizno izrezanim površinama, Orb integriše prilagođeni sistem šarki za besprijekornu funkcionalnost. Zlatni akcenti naglašavaju njegov luksuzni šarm, utjelovljujući istorijski uticaj u savremenom dizajnu.

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.
