Production Technology: Wings consists of wooden surfaces shaped with high-precision Cnc cutting and traditional handcrafting. The copper-coated wing details are meticulously hand-carved and seamlessly integrated into the body. The matte lacquer finish on the surface balances light reflections, while the velvet-textured interior coatings enhance the sense of luxury. Handcrafted copper legs with organic shapes enhance the piece's dynamic presence.
Design Challenge: One of the biggest design challenges of Wings was the flawless three-dimensional modeling of the wing-shaped surface. A combination of Cnc cutting and handcrafting was used to achieve an organic flow. A special hinge mechanism was developed to make the opening system of the doors invisible. This preserved the integrity of the design while enhancing functionality.
Research: Research on the aesthetic and symbolic use of wing forms in Gothic and Art Deco architecture formed the foundation of Wings concept. Historical and contemporary design approaches were studied to develop a surface language enhanced with elegant curves and dynamic movement. Material selection and the interplay of light and shadow were optimized to create a strong design identity.
Inspiration: Wings in Gothic and Art Deco styles represent celestial and spiritual elements.
In Gothic style, wings symbolize angels, creating a spiritual atmosphere. In Art Deco, they symbolize speed and progress.
The wings in both styles express humanity's longing for freedom, progress, and celestial ideals. Aesthetically, wings add beauty, grace, and elegant touch, while symbolically conveying a sense of elevation, spirituality, and purification.
Project Duration: Designed in 2023 for luxury interiors with its high craftsmanship quality and artistic form, Wings was completed in 2024. The entire design and production process took place in Ankara, Türkiye.
Operation Flow: Wings features a specially designed door mechanism that offers users an elegant opening experience. The doors open with a light touch, revealing the interior, while the concealed hinge system ensures a seamless surface flow. The interior compartments, covered in luxurious fabric, provide an ideal space for storing valuable items.
