About Orb Bufedo
La bufedo Orb kunfandas Art-Deco-elegantecon kun bizancaj arkitekturaj influoj, ĉerpante inspiron el la Antikva Romia Hipodromo en Istanbulo. Ĝia simetria formo, aerodinamikaj kurboj, kaj cirklaj flankaj pordoj maksimumigas spacon konservante rafinitan estetikon. Farita el mane formita ligno kun lakaj finiŝoj, furniritaj internaĵoj, kaj precize tranĉitaj surfacoj, Orb integrigas propran ĉarnieran sistemon por glata funkciado. Oraj akcentoj pliriĉigas ĝian luksan allogon, enkorpigante historian influon en nuntempa dezajno.

- 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.
