Moderna Sideboard: A Symphony of Timeless Craftsmanship

Doğtaş Design Team Unveils a Masterpiece of Elegance and Function

In a blend of heritage and modernity, the Moderna sideboard emerges as a beacon of sophisticated design and artisanal prowess, marking the 100th anniversary of the Republic of Turkiye.

The Moderna sideboard, conceived by the Dogtas Design Team, is not merely a piece of furniture; it is a narrative of cultural heritage intertwined with contemporary design. Inspired by the Monument, a symbol of a century's legacy, the sideboard carries the genetic codes of its inspiration, showcasing artisan touches that marry today's trends with echoes of the past. A light line that traverses the top plate is emblematic of the infinity that stretches from yesteryears into the future, serving as the product's signature.

Distinctive in its composition, Moderna stands out with its use of premium materials such as walnut veneer, glass, metallic accents, and travertine. The sideboard's design is a harmonious amalgamation of timeless elegance and modern craftsmanship, boasting clean lines and meticulous attention to detail. It is a testament to the Dogtas Design Team's commitment to creating pieces that are not only aesthetically pleasing but also functional, fitting seamlessly into diverse interior spaces.

The realization of Moderna's design is a testament to technological advancement in furniture craftsmanship. Employing thickened side panels adorned with Anatolian walnut and finished with a matte varnish, the sideboard exudes luxury. The ribbed bronze glass doors, crafted through the fusion technique and set on pivot hinges, complement the metallic hues of the structure. An innovative lighting system, equipped with touch sensors, adds to the sideboard's functionality, while the travertine block base with metal legs and an illuminated brand logo accentuates its exclusivity.

Functionality meets aesthetic appeal in the Moderna sideboard. Behind its ribbed bronze glass doors lies a sparkling, wavy silhouette that underscores the luxurious and modern line of the product. The interior glass shelf is illuminated, enhancing the elegance of the display. A drawer with an organizer and recessed handles where craftsmanship meets ergonomics provides a practical storage solution, further elevating the sideboard's design.

Developed in Istanbul over a period of five months, the Moderna sideboard was a project that demanded extensive research and creative resolve. The Dogtas Design Team embarked on a journey to encapsulate the brand's strong visual identity while crafting a unique and exclusive design. The result is a product that not only upholds Doğtaş's core values of quality and aesthetics but also stands as a symbol of the brand's design philosophy.

Overcoming technical challenges, such as achieving a metallic silk matte surface on painted parts and perfecting the fusion technique for ribbed glass, the team demonstrated their expertise. The incorporation of solid walnut in the drawer handles and the strategic placement of thin travertine sheets between metal legs are further evidence of the team's dedication to creating a product of exceptional quality and design.

The Moderna sideboard, a recipient of the prestigious Silver A' Furniture Design Award in 2024, is a celebration of Dogtas Design Team's innovation and artistry. Recognized for its superior design and craftsmanship, Moderna is a piece that evokes admiration and wonder, solidifying its place as a remarkable design that will be cherished for generations to come.
