About Toke Dekorativna polica za knjige
Toke je dekorativna stolna polica za knjige dizajnirana za unutarnje prostore. U središtu dizajna nalazi se polirana kugla od lipovog drva promjera 16 centimetara koja služi i kao oslonac i kao točka ravnoteže. Kugla se pomiče djelovanjem gravitacije i drži knjige u redu. Okvir je izrađen od posebno savijene metalne šipke i rezane metalne ploče, spojenih zavarivanjem i završno obrađenih elektrostatičkom praškastom bojom. Toke je visok 18 centimetara, širok 49 centimetara i dubok 16,5 centimetara. Jednostavna forma pristaje dnevnim boravcima, spavaćim sobama, restoranima, kafićima i trgovinama.

*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.
