About Threshold Latabatra Kafe
Threshold dia latabatra kafe voaforona amin'ny takelaka metaly mifamatotra izay mahazo fahamarinan-toerana tsy misy fitohizana fanampiny. Ny rafitra dia voaforona avy amin'ny singa vy voakarakara amin'ny Cnc sy voaboribory araka ny fandrefesana marina izay mibolisatra ao anaty toerana natao manokana ho amin'ny fananganana tsy misy fitaovana. Ny safidin'ny velaran-tany dia ahitana vy voakosoka sy fandrakotra vovoka matte mba hiantohana ny faharetany. Ny famolavolana dia mifantoka amin'ny fifandanjana, ny mazava ary ny fahamorana amin'ny fametrahana, mampiseho endrika metaly mirindra mety amin'ny efitrano fonenana sy ara-barotra.

- Unique Properties
- Threshold is a minimalist coffee table composed of interlocking metal planes that require no complex hardware for assembly. The structure relies on geometric precision and material integrity to achieve stability. Brushed stainless steel and matte RAL finishes enhance its sculptural clarity. The design combines structural honesty with intuitive assembly, creating a refined yet functional decorative object.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Width 1200 mm x Depth 800 mm x Height 500 mm
Material Stainless Steel
Surface Options Brushed Stainless Steel / Matte RAL Powder Coating
Assembly Tool Free Interlocking Structure
Flat Pack Compatible - Tags
- Coffee Table, Minimalist Furniture, Interlocking Structure, Stainless Steel Table, Geometric Design, Contemporary Coffee Table, Flat Pack Design, Sculptural Furniture, Modular Assembly
- Production Technology
- The table is produced using laser cut stainless steel sheets, followed by precision bending and surface finishing. Brushed stainless steel or powder coated matte RAL color options are applied to ensure durability and visual consistency. The interlocking system is engineered to achieve structural rigidity without additional mechanical fasteners.
- Design Challenge
- The main challenge was achieving structural rigidity without visible fasteners. Balancing material thickness bending tolerances and slot precision required multiple iterations. Production limitations such as metal flexibility and finishing consistency were carefully evaluated. The outcome resolves aesthetic clarity and engineering logic within a minimal form.
- Research
- Type of Research Product design research. Research Objectives To explore structural stability through interlocking metal planes. Methodology Iterative prototyping and digital modeling. Data Collection and Research Tools Used CAD modeling structural tests and material studies. Participants Physical prototypes and load experiments. Results A stable tool free assembly system. Insights and Impacts The research demonstrates how minimal material intervention can generate durable and visually calm furniture solutions for contemporary interiors.
- Inspiration
- Threshold was inspired by the concept of structural balance and the moment of transition between two planes. Influenced by earlier explorations of surface tension and geometric clarity, the design seeks to express stability through minimal intervention. The project investigates how interlocking components can create a calm architectural presence while maintaining simplicity and ease of assembly.
- Project Duration
- The project started in February 2026 in Istanbul and was completed in February 2026 in Istanbul. The design was developed as a producible furniture piece under Studio Soldout.
- Operation Flow
- Threshold is assembled by sliding the metal planes into each other through pre engineered slots. The interlocking geometry secures the structure without screws or additional tools. The interaction is intuitive and guided by the form itself. Once assembled, the table provides a stable surface while maintaining a visually lightweight appearance.
