Blending aesthetics with functionality creates extraordinary results. When the news organization Özgürüz approached us with a unique request to build a glass desk/table that would be both visually striking and practical for their broadcasting needs, we embarked on a fascinating journey. Our mission was to create a sturdy support structure for the glass while keeping it visually seamless, as it would be lit from behind during filming. In this blog post, we delve into the challenges we faced, the creative solutions we implemented, and how incorporating their logo played a pivotal role in achieving a stunning final result.

Supporting Transparency: The Challenge Begins:

The initial challenge we encountered was supporting the glass desk while keeping the support structure hidden from view. Özgürüz's vision was to have the desk appear as if it were floating when filmed, with the light source illuminating it from behind. This required us to carefully consider the structural integrity of the desk without compromising its transparency.

Incorporating the Özgürüz Logo: A Clever Concealment:

To tackle the challenge of hiding the support structure, we turned to the ingenious solution of incorporating the Özgürüz logo into the design. By strategically integrating their logo into the glass surface, we could cleverly camouflage the support framework behind it. This not only fulfilled the customer's brief but also added a unique touch of branding and personalization to the desk.

Designing the Specially Shaped Frame:

Creating a support structure that would remain hidden behind the logo required meticulous planning and design. We crafted a specially shaped frame that followed the contours of the Özgürüz logo, ensuring a seamless integration between the glass and the support structure. This tailored approach allowed us to maintain the desired illusion of transparency while providing the necessary stability for the desk.

Balancing Strength and Elegance:

Crafting a glass desk that exudes both strength and elegance was a delicate balance. We meticulously selected high-quality materials to ensure the desk's durability and structural integrity while maintaining its visual appeal. The support structure was meticulously engineered to distribute weight evenly and provide stability without compromising the overall aesthetic of the design.

The Illuminated Showcase:

Once the glass desk was completed, the illuminating moment arrived. As the desk was filmed with a light source positioned behind it, the carefully hidden support structure allowed the glass to glow elegantly, emphasizing the transparency and sleekness of the design. The Özgürüz logo became a focal point, subtly concealing the frame and creating a captivating visual effect.

Conclusion:

Crafting a glass desk for Özgürüz posed unique challenges that demanded creative solutions. By incorporating their logo into the design, we successfully hid the support structure while enhancing the desk's visual appeal. The seamless integration of the logo and the specially shaped frame achieved the desired illusion of transparency, culminating in a stunning piece that aligned with Özgürüz's vision. This project exemplifies the power of merging aesthetics, functionality, and branding, resulting in an extraordinary piece that showcases the possibilities of innovative design and the art of concealment.
