About Toke Rafu ya Vitabu ya Mapambo

Toke ni rafu ya vitabu ya mapambo ya kuwekwa juu ya meza, iliyoundwa kwa ajili ya nafasi za ndani. Tufe la mbao ya limewood lililong'arishwa lenye kipenyo cha sentimita 16 liko katikati ya muundo huu na hufanya kazi kama tegemeo na sehemu ya usawazishaji. Tufe hilo husogea kwa nguvu ya mvuto na kuweka vitabu katika mpangilio. Fremu imetengenezwa kwa fito za chuma zilizopindwa kwa umaalum na bamba la chuma lililokatwa, vilivyoungwa kwa kulehemu na kumaliziwa kwa rangi ya unga ya kielektrostatiki. Toke ina urefu wa sentimita 18, upana wa sentimita 49 na kina cha sentimita 16.5. Umbo lake rahisi linafaa kwa vyumba vya kuishi, vyumba vya kulala, mikahawa, migahawa ya kahawa na maduka.

Production Technology: *Specially bent 0.8 mm thick metal rod
*Electrostatic powder paint
*Polished limewood globe with a diameter of 16 cm
*0.4 mm cnc cut metal plate
Design Challenge: Selecting and processing the appropriate natural material, polishing it to the correct color after processing. Selecting the correct metal sheet and rod, and joining them together after bending and cutting methods.
Research: When designing Toke, it was crucial to select the right material for the sphere at its center. We debated extensively between beech, hornbeam, or walnut. Because exotic woods are generally expensive, we settled on linden, which was readily available locally. Its soft texture made it easy to work with and polish.

For the metal, we strived to select dimensions and thicknesses that could be easily machined on cnc and bending machines. We then engaged local craftsmanship and assembled the parts using welding.

We tried to evaluate different color options for the metal part. We chose both electrostatic paint and gold and silver plating as alternative methods.
Inspiration: Toke's story is built on the theme of "Balance point and the flow of knowledge." Toke acts as a bridge, holding, displaying, and elegantly balancing precious information (books). The wooden sphere, the central element of the design, forms the weight and focal point of the entire system, creating an illusion of gravity by balancing the books' position. This reflects the idea that knowledge is a central force that keeps our minds and lives in balance.
Project Duration: The project began in istanbul, Türkiye, in January 2025. The first prototype was released in May 2025. Mass production began in July 2025.
Operation Flow: The sphere in Toke moves thanks to gravity and balances the books on it, ensuring they stay in order.
