The Design

About Jazz Bicherregal

D'Jazz Bicherregal schëppt seng Inspiratioun aus dem Aart Deco vun den 1920er Joren an dem Jazz-Zäitalter, a kombinéiert historesch Eleganz mat zäitgenëssesche Design. Seng fléissend Linnen a Courben, déi un d'Form vun engem Saxophon erënneren, kombinéieren sech mat integréierten LED-Sträifen déi waarm, mëll Iwwergäng produzéieren déi un d'Beliichtung vun Jazz-Clubben erënneren. D'Stéck huet e matt schwaarz Lackfinish mat Kofferaccenten déi am Liicht méi déif ginn, ënnerstëtzt duerch CNC-geschnidden Holzpanelen a Laser-geschnidden metallesch Detailer. En equilibréiert Regalssystem an innovativ Liichtdiffusiounstechniken garantéieren souwuel Funktionalitéit wéi och ästhetesche Reiz.

Production Technology: The Jazz Bookcase features an exterior body with a matte black lacquer finish and a special coating in copper color that deepens with light. cnc cut wood panels support fluid forms, while laser-cut metallic details complete the integrity. Integrated Led lights soften the light on the surface, creating a dimmed atmosphere. The shelving system perfectly balances functionality with aesthetics.
Design Challenge: Achieving an organic harmony between light and form became one of the greatest technical challenges of the design. Special light diffusion techniques were developed to ensure flawless light distribution on the copper surface. The contrast between the matte exterior body and the metallic shine of the interior surface was meticulously balanced to create a dynamic and striking design language.
Research: Research on the synthesis of 1920s Art Deco aesthetics, music, and interior lighting led to the integration of form and light balance in this bookcase. The abstraction of saxophone forms and the lighting of dim jazz clubs, incorporated into the design of the bookcase, became the fundamental starting point of the project.
Inspiration: Art Deco, with its geometric shapes, elegant lines, luxurious details, and the Jazz Age, representing energetic jazz music, the rise of entertainment, and the pursuit of freedom by women, define the spirit of the 1920's.
Jazz captures this essence by merging history with contemporary design. Inspired by the saxophone’s curving form, its side panels create a melodic flow. The warm glow of Jazz Age nightclubs is reimagined through the interior illumination, bringing the era’s ambiance to life.
Project Duration: The project started in February 2023 in Milan and was completed in May 2024. It was developed and prototyped in Ankara, in collaboration with expert artisans and lighting engineers.
Operation Flow: Jazz is designed to interact with both the user and the surrounding space dynamically. The built-in Led lighting provides atmospheric illumination, reflecting the mysterious atmosphere of jazz clubs, enhances the mood of the environment.
The curved structure encourages intuitive organization, allowing books, decorative objects and personal items to be displayed in a visually engaging way. It serves as both a functional and decorative piece based on the user's preferences and lighting settings.
