About Slices of Nature Toeram-pampirantiana

Slices of Nature dia toeram-pampirantiana natao ho an'ny mpamokatra kofehy sisiny (edge band) sy takelaka mdf lam. Ny fascia ambony dia nahazo aingam-panahy avy amin'ny fahalefahan'ny kofehy sisiny. Ny drafitra mahitsizoro miaraka amin'ny lafiny roa mifanandrify dia miteraka fifandanjana. Ireo singa rafitra dia miasa ihany koa ho katalaogin'ny vokatra, ka lasa fampirantiana ny maritrano. Ny rindrina misosona dia mampiseho ny kofehy sisiny amin'ny endrika maro. Ny fascia sy ireo takelaka miolikolika dia notapahina tamin'ny cnc, ary ireo takelaka dia nasiana sisiny pvc. Ny latabatra bara dia notapahina tamin'ny cnc ary novitaina tamin'ny loko lakera. Ny toeram-pampirantiana dia noforonina avy amin'ny môdily sivy natao manokana.

Unique Properties
Stella, an edge band manufacturer and Mdf Lam dealer, we designed a stand shaped by a product-oriented vision. The overhead fascia was inspired by the flexibility of edge bands, while a rectangular plan with two symmetrical facades created balance. Structural elements doubled as product catalogs, turning architecture into a display. Layered Slices of Nature walls, diverse edge band formats, and installations highlighted innovation, inspiring designers through material expression.
Dimensions & Packaging
The exhibition stand, designed with overall dimensions of width 1000 mm x depth 2500 mm x height 4000 mm, consists of 9 custom made modules. Each module has been designed with attention to functionality and aesthetic integrity, coming together to create a cohesive identity for the stand.

Production Technology
The overhead fascia was cnc cut and fixed on site with vertical supports. All curved panels were cnc cut and edged with pvc edge bands. The bar counter was cnc cut and finished with lacquer paint. Pvc elements were applied to tabletops and adhered to metal rods within the curved stand structures.
Design Challenge
The most challenging part was discovering the material's limitations. It was difficult to conduct research and development to transform an edge band usually seen as a limited and technical product into diverse forms, from tabletops to curved surfaces, while adding both aesthetic and functional value to the design. The most critical and demanding aspect of the process was thinking user oriented and innovatively showcasing the material’s potential.
Research
Our research in the Stella project was product and user oriented. Our goal was to explore the potential of the material; we conducted research and development studies by testing its use on tabletops and in curved forms. Throughout the process, we carried out observations and detailed analyses, drawing inspiration from design platforms. We developed installation works based on silhouettes from nature, thus revealing diverse applications of the material and inspiring both designers and users.
Inspiration
Inspired by the layered structure of nature and the flexibility of edge bands, this design redefines the limits of material. Through the balanced harmony of color, texture, and form, the stand reveals the full potential of the product while opening new horizons for designers. More than a display, it becomes a stage where creativity meets nature, offering inspiration and space for exploration.
Project Duration
The project commenced on September 25th, 2025, in Istanbul, Turkiye, and concluded on September 28th, 2025, in Istanbul, where it was exhibited at intermob 2025 in September 2025.
Operation Flow
The overhead fascia was cut with precision machines and fixed in place with vertical supports. The curved panels of the stand were shaped in the same way, with their edges covered by protective strips. The bar counter was carefully painted to achieve a smooth finish. The tabletops and the curved sections of the stand were also detailed with these strips, completing the design.
