About Focal Latabatra

Focal dia latabatra fisakafoanana izay mampifandanja hatsaran-tarehy voadio tsara sy fanavaozana ara-drafitra. Aingam-panahy avy amin'ny maritrano Baroque sy Rococo, izy io dia manambatra haingon-javatra be haingo amin'ny minimalisme maoderina. Ny fitsanganany malefaka nefa mateza dia tratra amin'ny alalan'ny rafitra vy miafina, ary ny tongotra mivelatra any ivelany dia mampitombo ny toerana hipetrahana nefa tsy manimba ny fahamarinan-toerana. Noforonina tamin'ny hazo voajanahary miaraka amin'ny faritra voatetika amim-pahamarinana sy haingon-javatra varahina, Focal dia maneho fomba be voninahitra tsy miankina amin'ny fotoana. Ny fampidirana fanohanana ara-drafitra ao anatin'ny endriny kely dia fanamby lehibe tamin'ny famolavolana, izay voavaha tamin'ny alalan'ny fahaizan-tanana tsara tarehy.

Production Technology: Focal consists of a wooden tabletop reinforced with a special steel frame. Carefully selected natural wood is used for the surface, while brass details are intricately integrated. Precision-cut surfaces obtained through CNC technology and handcrafted leg joints enhance the timeless elegance of the design.
Design Challenge: The biggest design challenge for Focal was creating a structure that appears light and refined yet ensures high durability. Concealing the steel frame and processing the brass details in a way that balances aesthetics and functionality were the most critical stages of this process.
Research: Focal’s design process began with in-depth research into the decorative details of the Baroque and Rococo periods. Studies on how traditional forms could be integrated with modern functionality led to the creation of a balance where grandeur transforms into minimalism.
Inspiration: Focal is inspired by the refined details of Baroque and Rococo architecture. The gilded columns, curved forms, and intricate surface craftsmanship of the most opulent palaces in history have shaped Focal’s design DNA. This era, where art, aesthetics, and functionality harmoniously merged, creates a delicate balance in every detail of the table. The fusion of traditional grandeur with modern minimalism makes it timeless.
Project Duration: The project began with the initial sketches during a trip to Paris in 2023. The production was completed in the same year, in Ankara. Focal was developed with the aim of combining the elegance of classical art with modern design lines.
Operation Flow: Focal maximizes seating space with its outward-extending leg positioning while maintaining stability. The brass-adorned leg ends create a striking sense of balance. Its refined surface finish, combined with delicate lines, offers both a visual and tactile experience, enhancing the table’s overall elegance.
