About Focal Bogreol

Focal-bogreolen kombinerer neoklassisk symmetri med Art Deco-elegance og har metalsøjler og asymmetriske affasede hyldeforkanter, der skaber et dynamisk men afbalanceret udtryk. Med inspiration fra arkitektonisk rytme forener den klassisk forfinelse med moderne håndværk. Præcisionsskårne og håndafsluttede overflader sikrer en glat tekstur, mens skjulte forbindelsespunkter giver strukturel integritet, hvilket skaber illusionen af svævende hylder og fremhæver designets raffinerede æstetik.

Production Technology: Focal Bookcase is crafted from a perfect fusion of high-quality wood and brass materials. The surfaces are shaped using Cnc cutting and finished by hand to achieve an exceptional smoothness. The brass columns serve as structural supports, while the asymmetrical chamfered edges of the shelves add dynamism to the design. The enhanced material structure ensures durability and long-lasting use.
Design Challenge: The main design challenge of the Focal Bookcase was adapting architectural elements to a furniture scale while maintaining a balanced structure. Specially developed hidden connection points were implemented to allow the brass columns to function as structural supports without losing their delicate form, ensuring that the shelves remain suspended in the air.
Research: Research on Neoclassical architecture and Art Deco design principles formed the foundation of Focal Bookcase’s inspiration. The architectural column form was combined with refined brass details to achieve a balance between aesthetics and functionality in furniture. Material, proportion, and symmetry analyses supported the integrity of the design.
Inspiration: Focal Bookcase draws inspiration from the balanced symmetry of Neoclassical architecture and the refined details of Art Deco. The brass supports, resembling vertical columns, reflect the rhythmic form of architectural structures. By combining the modernism of the 1920s with fine craftsmanship and luxurious materials, it offers a timeless design. With its flawless craftsmanship and surface details, it embodies the harmony of classical and contemporary aesthetics.
Project Duration: The project began with the initial sketches during a trip to Paris in 2023. The production was completed in 2024, in Ankara.
Operation Flow: Focal Bookcase is designed to be both decorative and functional. It offers an ideal shelf arrangement for books, objects, and artworks, while the vertical brass columns enhance stability. The asymmetrical edge details create a different perspective from every angle, adding aesthetic dynamism to the space.
