About Toke Seilf Leabhar Mhaisiúil

Is seilf leabhar mhaisiúil boird í Toke atá deartha do spásanna intí. Tá sféar snasta d'adhmad teile le trastomhas 16 ceintiméadar ag croílár an dearaidh agus feidhmíonn sé mar thaca agus mar phointe cothromaíochta araon. Bogann an sféar leis an domhantarraingt agus coinníonn sé na leabhair in ord. Tá an fráma déanta de shlat mhiotail atá lúbtha go speisialta agus de phláta miotail gearrtha, ceangailte le táthú agus críochnaithe le péint phúdair leictreastatach. Tá Toke 18 ceintiméadar ar airde, 49 ceintiméadar ar leithead agus 16.5 ceintiméadar ar doimhneacht. Oireann an fhoirm shimplí do sheomraí suí, seomraí leapa, bialanna, caiféanna agus siopaí.

Production Technology: *Specially bent 0.8 mm thick metal rod
*Electrostatic powder paint
*Polished limewood globe with a diameter of 16 cm
*0.4 mm cnc cut metal plate
Design Challenge: Selecting and processing the appropriate natural material, polishing it to the correct color after processing. Selecting the correct metal sheet and rod, and joining them together after bending and cutting methods.
Research: When designing Toke, it was crucial to select the right material for the sphere at its center. We debated extensively between beech, hornbeam, or walnut. Because exotic woods are generally expensive, we settled on linden, which was readily available locally. Its soft texture made it easy to work with and polish.

For the metal, we strived to select dimensions and thicknesses that could be easily machined on cnc and bending machines. We then engaged local craftsmanship and assembled the parts using welding.

We tried to evaluate different color options for the metal part. We chose both electrostatic paint and gold and silver plating as alternative methods.
Inspiration: Toke's story is built on the theme of "Balance point and the flow of knowledge." Toke acts as a bridge, holding, displaying, and elegantly balancing precious information (books). The wooden sphere, the central element of the design, forms the weight and focal point of the entire system, creating an illusion of gravity by balancing the books' position. This reflects the idea that knowledge is a central force that keeps our minds and lives in balance.
Project Duration: The project began in istanbul, Türkiye, in January 2025. The first prototype was released in May 2025. Mass production began in July 2025.
Operation Flow: The sphere in Toke moves thanks to gravity and balances the books on it, ensuring they stay in order.
