About Orb Skænk

Orb-skænken blender Art Deco-elegance med byzantinske arkitektoniske påvirkninger og henter inspiration fra den antikke romerske hippodrom i Istanbul. Dens symmetriske form, aerodynamiske kurver og cirkulære sidedøre maksimerer pladsen, samtidig med at den bevarer en raffineret æstetik. Fremstillet af håndformet træ med lakfinish, finerede interiører og præcisionsskårne overflader integrerer Orb et specialdesignet hængselsystem for sømløs funktionalitet. Guldaccenter fremhæver dens luksuriøse appel og legemliggør historisk indflydelse i moderne 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.
