Unique Properties: It consists of a combination of four coffee tables of different sizes and a pouf around the cube form which is a lighting element. These four different sizes of coffee tables, the cube light, and the puff are multi-functional with their stacking ability.
Like the coffee tables of different sizes, the cube-shaped lighting element is also produced with Corian material. Like other elements that make up the design, the lighting element is mobile and allows it to be used in different places.
Dimensions & Packaging: Diameter 120 cm. / hight 50cm.max. / Transport dimensions 60cmx60cmx60cm
Tags: Coffee table, Mangiarotti, Golden Ratio, Cube, lighting, Corian, Plywood, stackable interactive, stacable
Production Technology: It is realized with Corian material. There is also a plywood version of the side table.
Design Challenge: We think that the interaction of design and art is an important factor. In addition to its function, the design should also be loaded with a cultural message and emotion. The 'CUBE' coffee table form gives messages to the user by referring to the golden ratio and the sculptures of Mangiarotti.
Research: 264/5000
Durability and continuity were important in the material selection of the product. As a result of our research at this stage, we decided that Corian material is suitable. At the same time, production was made with two materials considering that the plywood material was integrated with the design language.
Inspiration: The design is inspired by the Golden Ratio and geometric sculptures of Mangiarotti. Design is a connection between art&design. It is interactive and gives different possibilities of combination.
Project Duration: 2018, Istanbul.
Operation Flow: All elements that make up the user product are interactive. The user can move it according to his requirements. When the product is not used, it can be stacked on top of each other to take up little space.
