About Point Te Whakaata Pakitara
Kua hangaia tēnei whakaata e whakairihia ana ki te pakitara mō tētahi wāhanga whakairi pūmau e tā ana i tōna anga me tōna whakatakotoranga. Hei utu mō te huna i te taputapu whakapiri, ka waiho e te hoahoa tēnei wāhanga kia kitea hei wāhanga o te anga. Ka iri te anga rākau mai i tētahi wāhanga e whakairihia ana ki te pakitara, ā, ka honoa mā tētahi taipitopito porowhita. Mā tēnei huarahi anga ka māmā te whakaurunga, i te wā e mau tonu ana te hononga mārama i waenga i te āhua, te anga, me te mahi, e huri ai tētahi wāhanga whakairi e hiahiatia ana hei wāhanga o te hoahoa.

Behind the Design
Press Kit
Credits, team members and technical details provided by the designer.
- Unique Properties
- Point is a mirror design mounted to the wall through a single fixed point. The hanging mechanism, traditionally concealed, is placed at the center of the design and made visible. The solid wood frame is suspended from a single wall-mounted element and remains balanced and stable through a circular connecting component. This system simplifies installation and turns the structural detail into a defining element of the design.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- Product dimensions: 1200 mm (H) × 540 mm (W) × 115 mm (D). The frame is made from solid walnut and includes a droplet-shaped inner cutout. For shipping, the mirror is packaged in a protective box sized approx. 1300 mm × 620 mm × 195 mm, including foam padding and structural corner protectors to prevent breakage.

- Production Technology
- The frame is CNC-milled from solid walnut and hand-finished with natural oil. The mirror surface is laser-cut to fit the inner contour, including a droplet-shaped opening for modular hanging. It features a wall-mounted base, a sliding frame system, and a locking wood peg. The mirror is bonded into the frame using adhesive for seamless integration.
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenge in the design process was cutting the mirror into a precise, non-standard shape that fit perfectly with the frame. This required a level of precision beyond standard methods. The issue was resolved by using high-precision CNC laser cutting technology.
- Research
- This qualitative research focused on existing mounting methods in similar product groups. The aim was to provide a seamless installation experience. The process included research, sketching, 3D modeling, rendering, mock-up production, and prototyping. The final mounting system stood out with its ease of use and became a design element, offering a fresh and innovative perspective.
- Inspiration
- The starting point of this design was to bring a commonly overlooked element to the center of the design process. The idea that the hanging mechanism could play an active role within the product, rather than remaining a purely technical detail, shaped this approach. User difficulties during installation—such as achieving correct alignment and drilling multiple holes—were identified as a key problem. Point responds to these challenges with a simple, functional, and structural solution.
- Project Duration
- The project was designed in 2024 in Istanbul and was exhibited in September 2025 at the "New Horizon" exhibition during Furnishings and Design Istanbul (FDI).
- Operation Flow
- The mirror is easily mounted by sliding the frame onto a wall-fixed base through its central cut-out, then locked with a small round wooden peg. This tool-free system offers effortless installation and a unique sense of comfort. Its clean form complements its ease of use, enhancing the spatial value of any interior it enters.
