Unleashing Infinite Possibilities with ANGLE

Selami Gündüzeri's Award-Winning Bookshelf Design

The concept behind ANGLE was to create a single unit that could be combined and increased to reach unlimited sizes, embodying the idea of infinity. The result is a multiplying and unlimited design that can be assembled into a bookshelf or separator in desired measures and forms. Whether in a small house or a large office, ANGLE adapts to the space, offering a versatile solution for organizing and dividing areas.

Each unit of ANGLE is connected with metals placed in a round hole and magnets, making assembly easy and offering the flexibility to change the form as desired. The design's unique properties lie in its simplicity and adaptability, allowing it to fit into various spaces and serve multiple purposes.

The realization of ANGLE involved a meticulous process. The form mold of ANGLE was created first, followed by the placement of rotating counters on the mold. These were then pasted on top of each other and pressed to form the mold. The final stage involved coating the surface with matte lacquer, completing the production process. The units are then joined together by magnets for easy assembly.

The technical specifications of ANGLE include rotating counters made of wood, round metal, round magnets, and matte lacquer paint. The dimensions of each unit are 46cm in height, 100cm in width, and 30cm in depth. The design was developed in Istanbul, Turkey, in July 2014.

Despite the challenges faced during the design process, particularly in adjusting the appliques system of multi-laminated sheet on the mold, Gündüzeri's innovative approach resulted in a design that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. The design's success is evident in its recognition with the Platinum A' Furniture Design Award, which acknowledges world-class, exceptional, and highly innovative designs.

ANGLE is a testament to Gündüzeri's creativity and ingenuity, demonstrating how design can transform simple ideas into functional and visually appealing solutions. With its infinite possibilities, ANGLE is more than just a bookshelf; it is a symbol of limitless potential in design.
