The Design

About Toke Dekorativt Bicherregal

Toke ass en dekorativt Dëschbicherregal, dat fir Innenraim entworf gouf. Eng polierte Lannenholzkugel mat engem Duerchmiesser vu 16 Zentimeter sëtzt am Zentrum vum Design a fungéiert souwuel als Ënnerstëtzung wéi och als Balancepunkt. D'Kugel beweegt sech mat der Schwéierkraaft an hält d'Bicher an der Rei. De Kader ass aus speziell gebéitem Metallstaf a geschniddener Metallplack gemaach, duerch Schweessen zesummegefüügt a mat elektrostateschem Pulverlack ofgeschloss. Toke moosst 18 Zentimeter an der Héicht, 49 Zentimeter an der Breet a 16,5 Zentimeter an der Déift. Déi einfach Form passt a Wunnzëmmeren, Schlofzëmmeren, Restauranten, Caféen a Butteker.

Production Technology: *Specially bent 0.8 mm thick metal rod
*Electrostatic powder paint
*Polished limewood globe with a diameter of 16 cm
*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.
