About Booklover میز کنار تخت چندکاره
بوکلاور (Booklover) میز کنار تختی است که برای کسانی طراحی شده که از مطالعه پیش از خواب لذت میبرند. این میز که بر پایه ساختار باز مبلمان سنتی کرهای طراحی شده، با ویژگیهایی متناسب با استفاده مدرن، کارایی خود را افزایش میدهد. نورپردازی تعبیهشده در بالای میز امکان تنظیم روشنایی و دمای رنگ را برای مطالعه و آرامش فراهم میکند، در حالی که آویز برنجی زیر نورپردازی اجازه میدهد کتابها بهراحتی قرار داده شوند و در عین حال بهعنوان نشانگر کتاب عمل میکنند. این طراحی به کاربران امکان میدهد تا زیباییشناسی موقر سنت کرهای را در زندگی روزمره تجربه کنند، جایی که مطالعه، تأمل و آرامش بهطور طبیعی در هم میآمیزند.

- Production Technology
- This table is entirely handcrafted. Its main structure is built using traditional joinery techniques with solid walnut, while brass is used for the bookend, book hanger, and drawer handles to create a subtle contrast and provide refined visual accents against the dark wood. The lighting element is designed with sustainability in mind, using a modular structure for easy maintenance. The lampshade is made of polycarbonate covered with linen, allowing the light to diffuse softly and warmly.
- Design Challenge
- By integrating lighting and a book hanger into an open structure, this design offers a warm, practical space for both reading and relaxation. A key challenge was maintaining the furniture overall proportions while accommodating a compact lighting area without compromising usability or sustainability. To solve this, an accessible G9 LED bulb was chosen, and a modular socket holder was custom designed to enable easy replacement within the limited space.
- Research
- This design reinterprets the structural strengths of traditional Korean furniture into a form suited for book lovers. By reflecting on daily living patterns, it reimagines traditional elements to fit contemporary needs, making them more practical and accessible. Users can feel the poetic beauty of tradition and gain a sense of comfort in their space. The use of wood and metal in balance symbolizes the intention to connect past and present.
- Inspiration
- This design is inspired by the traditional Korean sabangtakja, an open-frame table with all sides exposed. While preserving its original form, the piece has been reinterpreted with a modern sensibility. The primary inspiration behind the design lies in a deep respect for Korean aesthetics rooted in the values of emptiness, balance, and line and in the desire to carry forward a contemplative way of life shaped by traditional lifestyle.
- Project Duration
- The project started with the design phase at Alex Studio in Korea in January 2023 and was completed in May 2023.
- Operation Flow
- The upper lighting unit connects to a smartphone via Wi-Fi, allowing users to freely adjust brightness and choose between cool white, neutral, and warm white color temperatures. A touch switch on the back enables intuitive power control even without a smartphone. Below the light, a book hanger serves both as a bookmark and a display for current reads. Underneath, shelves and a drawer are arranged to efficiently store books, reading accessories, and bedroom essentials.
