About Point Funzjoni Primarja: Mera tal-Ħajt

Test tal-Ktieb: Din il-mera mwaħħla mal-ħajt hija żviluppata madwar element ta' tdendil fiss li jifforma kemm l-istruttura kif ukoll il-kompożizzjoni tagħha. Minflok ma jaħbi l-mekkaniżmu tat-tdendil, id-disinn iħalli dan l-element viżibbli bħala parti mill-istruttura. Il-qafas tal-injam jiddendel minn komponent imwaħħal mal-ħajt u huwa konness permezz ta' dettall ċirkolari. Dan l-approċċ strutturali jippermetti installazzjoni sempliċi filwaqt li jżomm relazzjoni ċara bejn il-forma, l-istruttura, u l-funzjoni, fejn element ta' tdendil meħtieġ isir parti mid-disinn.

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.
