About Tonk Mint コンクリート壁のタイル

コンクリートは非常に伝統的な素材であり、1800年代半ばの発明以来、それほど変わっていません。 Tonkを使用すると、concreteはクリエイティブで現代的な解釈になります。各Tonkのデザインには、角度をいじることでパーソナライズできるモジュール構造があります。このプロパティは、自分の好み、好み、想像力に基づいて自分の壁をデザインする機会を人々に提供します。トンクミントのデザインは、自然のミントの葉に触発されました。このモデルは、さまざまな動機を得るためにバリエーションとともに使用することもできます。これは、すべてのTonkデザインの差別化機能です。

Production Technology
We use GRFC (Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete) for our products. We use steel moulding techniques to bring our models to perfection.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge in Mint's design was to stylize the nature-inspired mint motive to match the distinguishing factor of all Tonk designs: to stylize the motive to enable the designer to create different motives when used with different angles and patterns.
Research
Architectural design has been changing from traditional to contemporary, from complicated to lean. The new-old materials become in demand. Architects and interior designers are looking for new features and configurations of old-timers, such as concrete, glass, steel and wood. Mint is a reflection of this trend. Additionally, its design is inspired by nature. We have analyzed patterns in nature, chosen the motives of mint and stylized them to finalize our design.
Inspiration
Nature is at the heart of design, as it is at the heart of everything. Tonk has adopted the basic principle of using forms in nature by abstracting them in accordance with its own design philosophy, rather than simply imitating nature. This year the new series focuses on this understanding and reflects directly to the wall tile models. A form study was performed inspired by mint leaves in the "Mint" model.
Project Duration
The project started in September 2019 and finalized in January 2020 in Istanbul, Turkey.
Operation Flow
Mint is a very playful product, which enables designers to show their creativity and in this way which gives them high satisfaction in the design process. The designers can get different motives by playing around with the angles and the positions of the product. Moreover, Mint is very easy to install; it is just glued to the wall with ceramic adhesives.
