About Arkhe Koleksyon sa Muwebles

Masinati ang walay kataposang balak sa Arkhe Collection, usa ka pasidungog sa karaang mga ampiteatro sa Mediteraneo. Giinspirar sa ilang daghang kasaysayan ug mga mito nga nagbisik-bisik sa atong komon nga kamuhi-an, ang matag piraso naghiusa sa gamit ug eskulturang kaanyag. Gihimo gamit ang natural nga travertine ug kahoy, ang koleksyon naghiusa sa dalaygon nga pagkagama ug dili maunlod nga disenyo. Ang geometric nga mga disenyo nagmugna og lain-laing nawong nga madanihon sa panan-aw samtang ang kalainlain sa mga piraso nagtugbang sa lain-laing spatial ug panginahanglan sa tiggamit. Patas-a ang imong luna pinaagi sa Arkhe, diin ang kasaysayan ug kasanayan nagtagbo sa kontemporaryong disenyo.

Production Technology: Arkhe collection is produced by skilled craftsmen from natural materials of travertine and wood. Both travertine and wood parts of the pieces are produced through a combination of CNC and craft production processes. Customization is also offered with different stone and wood options. The pieces can be produced from solely stone blocks, from solely wood or from a combination of stone and wood. The pieces are made to assembly and can be disassembled to be shipped flat pack. The assembly is made with stainless steel connector pieces.
Design Challenge: The major challenge of the project was related to getting the desired material and visual effect and quality on the intricate surface machining with different materials like unfilled travertine and wood. Several small scale trails were made with different travertine and wood types before starting the production of large scale products.
Research: Many sketches, computer models and small-scale models were made to optimize the overall dimensions, to decide on different dimensions for the steps that create the various surfaces on the pieces. Later through an interaction with the local craftsmen, the details regarding surface operations and assemblage joinery were decided using prototypes.
Inspiration: Arkhe Collection is a tribute to the beautiful amphitheaters dispersed throughout the Mediterranean geography and to all the history, culture and myths they whisper to our collective consciousness. As a lucky kid growing up in the Aegean coast, the visits to these majestic remains of ancient times was an indispensable tradition of our summer vacations. These visits always left me in awe, giving a larger than life feeling to the mind and soul of that little kid I was back then.
Project Duration: The production phase of the project started in March 2023 in Istanbul and was completed in August 2023 in Istanbul.
Operation Flow: Arkhe collection provides functionality, emotional experience and uniqueness through its minimal, sculptural forms and strong visual effect. The surfaces created on the furniture appeal to the sight while dividing the furniture surface into areas with different functions. The collection blends with different interiors as it can be customized according to user needs and desires by a choice of different geometric and material alternatives. Its minimal design provides ease of use and cleaning.
