About Orb Servantă
Servanta Orb îmbină eleganța Art Deco cu influențe arhitecturale bizantine, inspirându-se din Hipodromul Roman Antic din Istanbul. Forma sa simetrică, curbele aerodinamice și ușile laterale circulare maximizează spațiul, menținând în același timp o estetică rafinată. Realizată din lemn modelat manual cu finisaje cu lac, interioare furniruite și suprafețe tăiate cu precizie, Orb integrează un sistem de balamale personalizat pentru o funcționalitate impecabilă. Accentele aurii amplifică farmecul său luxos, încorporând influența istorică în designul contemporan.

- 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.
