About Disco Oven Forno per pizza
Disco Oven è un forno per pizza da esterno alimentato a legna. Il forno ha la forma di una sfera rotante di 110 cm di diametro, rivestita da oltre 34.000 specchi applicati a mano. All'interno della sfera si trova un nucleo in pietra ricostruita con un piano di cottura in cordierite. Il forno raggiunge i 400 gradi Celsius in circa 20 minuti e cuoce una pizza napoletana in 90 secondi. È possibile preparare anche piatti in padella, pane e arrosti a cottura lenta, poiché il nucleo in pietra trattiene molto bene il calore. Una canna fumaria a doppia parete e una base zavorrata ne consentono l'utilizzo autoportante su qualsiasi superficie dura e in piano.

- Production Technology
- 5 prototypes and 3 years of development;
- Design Challenge
- The biggest challenges were;
- creating a completely weather resistant product using so many different materials
- accounting for heat expansion and contraction combining so many different materials
- designing a safe product that meeting industry standards, specially considering the weight and fire risk issues concerned
- balancing cost and weight verses thermal mass capability
- considering economical, ergonomic, practical and safe methods delivery and installation within the design
- considering the safe use of the product
- considering the cooking versatility of the product
- maintaining a high level of design aesthetic without compromising quality and functionality - Research
- Allot of research went into achieving a high degree of thermal mass (like a traditional wood fired cooking oven) to achieve the highest heat latency as possible whilst keeping physical weight to a minimum (so the product wouldn't need power assisted lifting for delivery/installation; i.e it can be safely manhandled); researched in collaboration with several international refectories suppliers testing various combinations of mixed aggregates to produce a cast oven to withstand minimum 1200 degree temperatures weighing under 50kg.
Allot of research went into the shape of the stone core oven; for air flow (diameter, length and position of the flue, and size, length and shape of oven mouth, for the best air draw), and ratio of air flow and oven size (using fibonacci sequence) for best functionality.
Tested various thermal insulations to find the right product that achieved the best combination of weight verses water resistance verses thermal mass qualities.
Tested various adhesives with 3M Tapes to achieve a double sided adhesive for the mirrors that would withstand extreme wether conditions.
Various changes and reverse engineering and testing to the main assembly plate and base stand to meet the balance of minimum weight comfortably within safety tolerances.
Consideration given to the method of installation from an international manual handling guidance and regulations prospective; safe and comfortable manual installation can be achieved with 4 persons, but we have also developed a lightweight cheap collapsable manual lifting kit/device so it can also be done safely and comfortably with 2 persons. - Inspiration
- A love of light reflection (aka mirror balls) and Alfresco dining, an aspiration for creativity, perfectionism, fun and surprise, and a need to make something that's both functional and beautiful and brings people together.
