About Orb Kredenc
Kredenc Orb združuje eleganco art deca z bizantinskimi arhitekturnimi vplivi, pri čemer se navdihuje pri antičnem rimskem hipodromu v Istanbulu. Njegova simetrična oblika, aerodinamične krivulje in okrogle stranske vrata maksimizirajo prostor, hkrati pa ohranjajo prefinjen estetski videz. Izdelan iz ročno oblikovanega lesa z lakirano prevleko, furniranimi notranjostmi in precizno rezanimi površinami, Orb vključuje sistem tečajev po meri za brezhibno funkcionalnost. Zlati poudarki krepijo njegov razkošen videz in utelešajo zgodovinske vplive v sodobni zasnovi.

- Design Challenge

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.
