Om Booklover Multifunksjonelt nattbord

Booklover er et nattbord designet for dem som liker å lese før de sover. Basert på den åpne strukturen i tradisjonelle koreanske møbler, forbedrer det praktiske egenskaper som passer for moderne bruk. Den innebygde belysningen på toppen gir justerbar lysstyrke og fargetemperatur for lesing og avslapning, mens messingholderen under belysningen lar bøker enkelt plasseres samtidig som den fungerer som et bokmerke. Denne designen lar brukerne møte den tilbakeholdne estetikken i koreansk tradisjon i hverdagen, der lesing, ettertanke og avslapning naturlig flyter sammen.

Produksjonsteknologi
This table is entirely handcrafted. Its main structure is built using traditional joinery techniques with solid walnut, while brass is used for the bookend, book hanger, and drawer handles to create a subtle contrast and provide refined visual accents against the dark wood. The lighting element is designed with sustainability in mind, using a modular structure for easy maintenance. The lampshade is made of polycarbonate covered with linen, allowing the light to diffuse softly and warmly.
Designutfordring
By integrating lighting and a book hanger into an open structure, this design offers a warm, practical space for both reading and relaxation. A key challenge was maintaining the furniture overall proportions while accommodating a compact lighting area without compromising usability or sustainability. To solve this, an accessible G9 LED bulb was chosen, and a modular socket holder was custom designed to enable easy replacement within the limited space.
Forskning
This design reinterprets the structural strengths of traditional Korean furniture into a form suited for book lovers. By reflecting on daily living patterns, it reimagines traditional elements to fit contemporary needs, making them more practical and accessible. Users can feel the poetic beauty of tradition and gain a sense of comfort in their space. The use of wood and metal in balance symbolizes the intention to connect past and present.
Inspirasjon
This design is inspired by the traditional Korean sabangtakja, an open-frame table with all sides exposed. While preserving its original form, the piece has been reinterpreted with a modern sensibility. The primary inspiration behind the design lies in a deep respect for Korean aesthetics rooted in the values of emptiness, balance, and line and in the desire to carry forward a contemplative way of life shaped by traditional lifestyle.
Prosjektvarighet
The project started with the design phase at Alex Studio in Korea in January 2023 and was completed in May 2023.
Driftsflyt
The upper lighting unit connects to a smartphone via Wi-Fi, allowing users to freely adjust brightness and choose between cool white, neutral, and warm white color temperatures. A touch switch on the back enables intuitive power control even without a smartphone. Below the light, a book hanger serves both as a bookmark and a display for current reads. Underneath, shelves and a drawer are arranged to efficiently store books, reading accessories, and bedroom essentials.
