About Orb Skjenk

Orb-skjenken blander Art Deco-eleganse med bysantinske arkitektoniske påvirkninger, og henter inspirasjon fra den antikke romerske Hippodrome i Istanbul. Dens symmetriske form, aerodynamiske kurver og sirkulære sidedører maksimerer plassen samtidig som den opprettholder en raffinert estetikk. Laget av håndformet tre med lakkfinish, finerte interiører og presisjonsskårne overflater, integrerer Orb et skreddersydd hengselsystem for sømløs funksjonalitet. Gullaksenter forsterker den luksuriøse appellen og legemliggjør historisk innflytelse innenfor samtidig design.

Design Challenge: The biggest design challenge of Orb was integrating the circular side door mechanism without compromising functionality. This was resolved through a custom hinge system and interior cladding solutions. A dynamic opening mechanism was developed while preserving the design’s seamless form, achieving both aesthetics and practicality.
Research: The design process of Orb began with an in-depth study of the structural elements of the Ancient Roman Hippodrome and Byzantine architecture. By analyzing circular and linear forms, a balance was created to adapt these influences into contemporary furniture design. The selected materials harmonize historical inspiration with modern functionality.
Inspiration: Orb is inspired by the Ancient Roman Hippodrome. Built in the 3rd century AD on the site of present day Istanbul, this architectural marvel was a major gathering place for society, hosting chariot races and major events. The large-scale circular and linear elements of the Hippodrome influenced Orb’s design language. Its balanced form reflects a historic heritage within contemporary interiors.
Project Duration: Designed in Istanbul, where it was inspired, and manufactured in Ankara, the Orb sideboard was completed in 2023.
Operation Flow: Orb provides a unique opening experience with its specially designed hinge system. The side doors open seamlessly with a gentle push, revealing an interior elegantly finished in Bosphorus Deep blue tone. The adjustable shelf system ensures both functionality and flexibility, offering a refined and practical storage solution.
