Qhov Tsim

Txog The Cuban Txee Rau Cawv

Lub Cuban yog ib lub txee rau cawv uas tsim los rau kev khaws khoom thiab siv rau kev sib txoos. Ib lub thawv khaws luam yeeb doos uas pua nrog ntoo ciab (cedar) raug muab tsim rau hauv lub txee no, uas muab ib qhov chaw tswj kom huv rau cov luam yeeb doos, hos sab hauv khaws tau cawv whiskey. Cov qhov rooj khoov ua los ntawm ntoo txiag plywood uas yoog tau thiab muab pleev tshuaj ci ntsa iab, thiab muab pob zeb marble los ua sab saum toj. Sab saum toj kuj siv tau ua ib lub chaw rau tso cov twj tig suab paj nruag (turntables) thiab cov cuab yeej suab paj nruag. Cov kwj hlua xov hauv thiab cov qhov ntsaws hluav taws xob ua rau ntau yam khoom siv ua hauj lwm tau los ntawm ib qho kev txuas xwb. Muaj ib lub tshuab digital tswj qhov noo thiab qhov teeb pom kev.

Yam Tshwj Xeeb: The Cuban is a bar cabinet defined by its dual role as both a storage piece and a social focal point. It integrates a humidor, while its upper surface serves as a DJ deck, accommodating turntables and music equipment. Designed for interaction, it organizes objects and activities around itself, becoming a central element within the space. High gloss lacquer, stainless steel and marble create a refined and distinctive presence.
Qhov Loj & Ntim: Bar cabinet with integrated humidor and multi functional top surface. Interior lined with Alpi engineered wood veneer, humidor fully clad in cedar wood. Elazığ Vişne marble used on top surface and high contact areas. Integrated digital control system for humidity and lighting. Internal cable management and power outlets allow operation of multiple devices through a single connection. Dimensions approx.: 900 W x 550 D x 1000 H mm.

Thev Naus Laus Zis Tsim Khoom: The Cuban is produced using flexible plywood to form curved cabinet doors. A layered finishing process is applied, including a fabric based preparation to prevent cracking before high gloss lacquering. Interior surfaces are finished with Alpi engineered wood veneer. The humidor system, developed with Brone, is integrated into the cabinet structure, including cedar lining and humidity control components. Electrical systems and cable channels are custom integrated during assembly.
Kev Sib Tw Tsim Qauv: The main challenge was twofold. Conceptually, it involved translating abstract ideas such as rhythm, atmosphere and character into a coherent seating form, balancing expressive geometry with ergonomic comfort and structural integrity. Interpreting and reconstructing a cultural atmosphere that was not directly experienced, as a designer from a different generation, required an additional layer of research, imagination and reinterpretation.

From a production perspective, the project faced significant constraints due to limited initial production volume, making it difficult to engage manufacturers. As an independently developed project for SaloneSatellite and Alcova, it required self managed resources and fabrication. The complex curved geometries necessitated mold based solutions, increasing initial costs. Additionally, producing in Turkey under high taxation and import constraints led to elevated material costs, requiring direct sourcing of certain materials from Europe.
Kev Tshawb Fawb: This project is based on a conceptual and experiential design research exploring the relationship between music, space and human behavior. Developed as part of the Disco House collection, it proposes a scenario for living where each object embodies a distinct character. The research builds on two core ideas: the invisible relationship between music and architecture, translated into spatial form, and the liberated, glamorous nightlife culture of the late 1970s and early 1980s. Through observational analysis and prototyping, the design investigates how atmosphere can be transformed into form, ergonomics and material expression.
Kev Txhawb Siab: The inspiration for The Cuban comes from the social dynamics of nightlife, where certain figures gradually take control of the atmosphere. It reflects a character that begins discreetly, creating curiosity, then reveals itself through opening elements displaying whiskey and cigars. Its upper surface is conceived as a DJ deck from the back, while acting as a display and bar from the front, combining visual presence with function.
Lub Sij Hawm Ua Hauj Lwm: The project started in Istanbul in August 2025 and was completed in March 2026. It is presented as part of the Disco House collection during Milan Design Week 2026, with its official debut at Alcova Milano 2026 and SaloneSatellite 2026.
Txheej Txheem Ua Hauj Lwm: The Cuban is designed to bring people together around it. Experienced from multiple sides, it functions as a bar and display from the front, revealing its contents as the doors open. From the back, its top surface can be used as a DJ deck for music playing. It offers a controlled storage environment for whiskey and cigars, with digital control of lighting and humidity, while also elevating their presentation. It becomes both the source of music and a central point of interaction within the space.
