Designlegende Interview

50 spørgsmål

My design background started from my childhood. My interest in design, which began with toys at a young age. Spread to a wide area after I started to design everything that caught my attention by myself.

Could you please tell us a bit about your design background and education?

My design background started from my childhood. My interest in design, which began with toys at a young age. Spread to a wide area after I started to design everything that caught my attention by myself. I studied at The University of Georgia. Of course, it has given me a lot.

What motivates you to design in general, why did you become a designer?

Because I think that something can always be done better is my biggest motivation

Did you choose to become a designer, or you were forced to become one?

Being a designer is not something to be forced. You must think about every detail and add your soul to your work.

What do you design, what type of designs do you wish to design more of?

There are no limits to design for me. I can create anything that the human mind can conceive. However, I mostly find myself designing interiors and boats.

What should young designers do to become a design legend like you?

The lifestyle of today's youth makes me think. When I look at it, it is unfortunate to see a generation that has become a prisoner of technology, killing their creativity in their spare time. I'm a traditionalist. My advice to every young designer who will be a designer is not to let go of their originality, to take time for themselves and trust themselves.

What distinguishes between a good designer and a great designer?

A good designer does whatever the other person wants. A great designer, on the other hand, turns something that others can't even imagine into reality.

What makes a good design a really good design, how do you evaluate good design?

The first look is essential.Research shows that the first 7 seconds determine our opinion of something as good or bad. That's why looks matter. Then originality and quality are the essential elements that make a design good.

What is the value of good design? Why should everyone invest in good design?

The most important source of value of a good design is the need. But if you complete the plan that will meet the demand in a way that will make the other person happy, it will gain much more value. If investors invest in such a design, their brand value increases and they attract attention.

What would you design and who would you design for if you had the time?

I would like to design for someone with a different style rather than a person's name because these people allow you to push the boundaries in your design, unlike people with a classical style.

What is the dream project you haven't yet had time to realize?

It was very important for me to design and manufacture the Mamba 80. The design is finished, now it's time for manufacturing. But the dreams do not end with the designer.

What is your secret recipe of success in design, what is your secret ingredient?

To make designs utterly different from the works in their class as much as possible and create a sense of quality when examined.

Who are some other design masters and legends you get inspired from?

Of course, there are designers that I like very much, but the designer should be original. To start, being influenced by design seems like an imitation.

What are your favorite designs by other designers, why do you like them?

I can give many examples, but after a long time after its completion , it's still very popular. Jorn Utzon,(Sidney Opera) , Maurice Koechlin (Eifel Tower-FRANCE), Tom Wright( Burj Al Arap-Dubai) etc. They can be example of design I like.

What is your greatest design, which aspects of that design makes you think it is great?

I have many designs, but my Mamba 80 project is unique as I enjoyed working and thought it was completely different from other boats in its class.

How could people improve themselves to be better designers, what did you do?

The secret is that your mind is constantly producing something. I never stopped designing. On the other hand, I follow the agenda closely. I observe people and their changing demands and needs. I usually pay attention to design in this direction.

If you hadn't become a designer, what would you have done?

The answer to this question would still be "DESIGNER" because I immensely love my job.

How do you define design, what is design for you?

Design is the presentation of a known object from different perspectives. At the same time, design is the most crucial mirror that reflects the designer's spirit.

Who helped you to reach these heights, who was your biggest supporter?

First, I don't see myself at the top because there is always something to learn. But of course, I am indebted to getting the support of my family first and then all my friends around me in developing my business.

What helped you to become a great designer?

My perseverance and depth of imagination helped.

What were the obstacles you faced before becoming a design master?

The biggest obstacles are people who need to be more open to innovation. But after the designs were finished, these people liked it very much.

How do you think designers should present their work?

The most important thing is understanding what the other person wants and designing according to his wishes. If you do this, how you present your presentation becomes secondary.

What's your next design project, what should we expect from you in future?

We got excellent feedback with Mamba 80. I have a few different boat projects, although not in the same style.

What's your ultimate goal as a designer?

To be a world-renowned designer and have my designs used by the world.

What people expect from an esteemed designer such as yourself?

Remarkable designs differ from ordinary classical designs in which the minor details are considered, and the needs of use are met.

How does design help create a better society?

Design is the work done specially for people, considering their usage needs and styles. It helps people to feel valuable and gives happiness to its user. In societies where the number of happy people increases, productivity increases. A subtle touch can affect many things.

What are you currently working on that you are especially excited about?

I do not categorize, but I mainly have boat projects on my agenda.

Which design projects gave you the most satisfaction, why?

Mamba 80 for receiving an international award.

Also, when the design I made for my customer is liked, I am happy.

What would you like to see changed in design industry in the coming years?

I would like designers to create projects that are unique and repeat each other.

Where do you think the design field is headed next?

I told you that originality is important. People will always be more attracted to entirely different projects than they've ever seen.

How long does it take you to finalize a design project?

What goes through the mind of the designer is important here.

While a table that looks simple to an outsider takes much time, designing a car may be finished in a much shorter time.

When you have a new design project, where do you start?

First, I create every detail and then put it on paper. "How could it be better?" I ask myself.

What is your life motto as a designer?

My motto is "Free your inner spirit and leave your mark on life."

Do you think design sets the trends or trends set the designs?

Design set trends. Because it is inevitable that a plan that meets its needs, is practical, attracts attention, and becomes a trend.

What is the role of technology when you design?

Today, technology has changed the fields of art and design, as it has entered all areas of our lives. Although some traditional aspects continue in today's designs, technological hardware and software-aided design, a necessity of our age, has come to the fore, and technology-oriented advances have been made. But no matter how advanced the technology is, this business cannot be soulless.

What kind of design software and equipment do you use in your work?

The programs I use are; 3D-max, AutoCAD, and SOLID are the programs I use most often

What is the role of the color, materials and ambient in design?

This trilogy is the most important element that makes up the design. The harmony between colour and material determines the quality of the design.

What do you wish people to ask about your design?

How did you think of this detail?

When you see a new great design or product what comes into your mind?

I would like to wonder and learn about the journey of coming to life.

Who is your ideal design partner? Do you believe in co-design?

Frankly, I don't believe it. Design can contain quality in originality.

Which people you interacted had the most influence on your design?

Frankly, I don't find it right to share before my design is complete. Of course , I will discus it with my friends later. My family's opinions are important to me . They always support me.

Which books you read had the most effect on your design?

I can't say it's pretty. Designing is not something to be learned from books. But of course, the books you read help you see different experiences and avoid making the mistakes others have made.

How did you develop your skills as a master designer?

I never hesitated to design something new, to create something different. The likes that come later help you gain confidence and express yourself comfortably.

Irrelative of time and space, who you would want to meet, talk and discuss with?

It's hard to say a direct name. A famous person whom everyone watches with admiration and who attracts attention will help my designs reach people. That's why he is a famous person.

How do you feel about all the awards and recognition you had, is it hard to be famous?

Frankly, I still see myself at the beginning of the road when I started this profession and now. Because if I get out of this thought, I will not be able to improve myself. A designer should always have a desire to learn new things. Being famous will always bring the desire to have high expectations from you. More work is required to answer this.

What is your favorite color, place, food, season, thing and brand?

I love the black colour. Because I love the sea, I liked the Maldives very much. I want to prefer fish products as a meal.

Summer is my favourite season. My tablet pc is a must for me.

Lacoste because I like your style as a brand.

Please tell us a little memoir, a funny thing you had experienced as a designer?

A long time ago, I did a design for a client. I made a presentation. He did not accept at first, and we made the design he wanted. But when he started using it, he said he wanted to have the plan I pushed again. Later, when he implemented my design, he gave me the right, and we have been working together for many years. This means the designer considers many things (usability, ergonomics, etc.) while designing.

What makes your day great as a designer, how do you motivate yourself?

It has become my routine to be open and constantly think about something. The best thing that motivates me is the excitement that a new idea that comes to my mind creates in me.

When you were a little child, was it obvious that you would become a great designer?

It was apparent. I would make completely different, new objects, toys, etc., by using any object's broken or deteriorated parts in my own way. Now I'm thinking, glad I did.

What do you think about future; what do you see will happen in thousand years from now?

A space age is waiting for us now, where everything is automated, nothing classical is worthless, and technology replaces mastery.

Please tell us anything you wish your fans to know about you, your design and anything else?

I can explain myself. If something can be better, it must be better. It could be designing, and it could be manufacturing etc. While creating, I am a designer who wants to draw and produce by saying that every detail cannot be better. I am a designer who cannot present a design I do not like to his customers to earn money. First, I must like it, and then my customer will like it.

I've been designing things since I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I used to draw constantly. Creating is about curiosity and discovery. When I was a little kid, I was curious and tried everything.

Could you please tell us more about your art and design background? What made you become an artist/designer? Have you always wanted to be a designer?

I've been designing things since I was a kid. When I was a teenager, I used to draw constantly. Creating is about curiosity and discovery. When I was a little kid, I was curious and tried everything. The secret here is that your parents support you. My family has never undermined my curiosity and has always supported me. With this confidence, I never stopped producing and inventing. I've been a designer for as long as I can remember. That's why I can say yes to the question, "Do you want to be a designer?"

Can you tell us more about your company / design studio?

My design adventure started in the early 2000s with a furniture company I founded and designed. Later, I developed this experience and transferred it to the marine industry, which I am passionate about. In my current design office, I serve a broad spectrum.

What is "design" for you?

Design is the presentation of a known object from different perspectives. At the same time, design is the most important mirror that reflects the designer's spirit.

What kinds of works do you like designing most?

First, I like to draw designs that can be manufactured, not concept products.

In addition, the designer should not limit himself. As a sea lover, I have been designing boats with greater pleasure lately.

What is your most favorite design, could you please tell more about it?

My favourite design is understanding someone else's dream, drawing it, and bringing it alive.

What was the first thing you designed for a company?

I started with the interior design project. Highly appreciated. After many interior design designs, I started to make my boat designs.

What is your favorite material / platform / technology?

I can't imagine that the designer can have a material because the most important thing about the designer is that she can take the most insignificant detail for someone else and create a magnificent design from it.

When do you feel the most creative?

I can always be creative when I'm alone with myself. I don't need time to create something; anything I see in nature can trigger my creativity.

What kind of emotions do you feel when your designs are realized?

Absolutely I am satisfied.

What makes a design successful?

If the designer's spirit is on the other side, this design is successfuion, the most important details are that it is manufacturable, valuable and sustainable.

When judging a design as good or bad, which aspects do you consider first?

First is the appearance. Research shows that the first 7 seconds determine our opinion of something as good or bad. That's why looks matter. Then originality and quality are the most important elements that make a design good.

From your point of view, what are the responsibilities of a designer for society and environment?

While designing products that serve the need, the designer should realise designs that follow current developments and are compatible with the technology.

Our world is rapidly polluting, and many products or materials harm the environment. Designing with environmentally friendly and recyclable materials is very important for the future of this world and our children.

How do you think the "design field" is evolving? What is the future of design?

Design is doomed to change. It varies according to current conditions, world order, designer's feelings, spirit, generational differences, needs, environment and technological developments. This question, therefore, requires an answer that is too open-ended to be answered with imagination.

When was your last exhibition and where was it? And when do you want to hold your next exhibition?

|I presented in Marmaris with my Barva 60 model (floating house), which I designed and manufactured myself. This design, which attracted great attention, made me very happy.(2022) I plan to re-promote the first product whose production is finished since I produce the projects I have drawn myself.

Where does the design inspiration for your works come from? How do you feed your creativity? What are your sources of inspirations?

Frankly, I don't have a particular choice in this regard. An utterly unrelated object can inspire my design. This is the secret of the designer.

How would you describe your design style? What made you explore more this style and what are the main characteristics of your style? What's your approach to design?

The most distinctive feature I have seen in my style is making completely different designs that do not repeat each other. Unfortunately, designs that are very similar to popular designs are made today. This is the biggest mistake in my opinion. The designs made before are already done and finished. Then something better needs to be done.

Where do you live? Do you feel the cultural heritage of your country affects your designs? What are the pros and cons during designing as a result of living in your country?

I live in Yalova, Turkey. But I can be in different cities due to work. My country has a geopolitical position surrounded by seas on three sides. This helps me to serve the marine industry, which I am passionate about, and to bring my designs to life.

How do you work with companies?

It would be wrong to say anything explicit about it. I evaluate this process according to the design, the project, and the work done.

What are your suggestions to companies for working with a designer? How can companies select a good designer?

First, working with an honest, committed designer with a work discipline will make it easier for companies. The most important feature of the designer selected for companies is that he is a designer who will not reduce the company's brand value and will carry the company to higher levels and new target audiences with unique designs.

Can you talk a little about your design process?

Usually, when I start developing a product, I am not interested in anything else. I am almost in love with my design, like writing a book or composing a song. Since it is still being determined where and when my inspiration will come, I can always be ready for design work.

What are 5 of your favorite design items at home?

Robot vacuum cleaner

Airfryer

Coffee machine

Working table and chair (designed by myself)

Can you describe a day in your life?

I start the day as early as possible. I plan my day and what I need to do by making my work schedule. During these works while doing these things, certain things inspire and motivate me.

Could you please share some pearls of wisdom for young designers? What are your suggestions to young, up and coming designers?

The lifestyle of today's youth makes me think. When I look at it, it is unfortunate to see a generation that has become a prisoner of technology, killing their creativity in their spare time. I'm a bit of a traditionalist. My advice to every young designer who will be a designer is not to let go of their originality, to take time for themselves and trust themselves.

From your perspective, what would you say are some positives and negatives of being a designer?

Creating and producing something new is a good motivation for me, but the negative side of this job is that you travel as a person who always thinks with a full head before experiencing this.

What is your "golden rule" in design?

Designs that are entirely different from the works in their class and that give a feeling of quality when examined.

What skills are most important for a designer?

Creativity, originality and imagination. Revealing an un seen or unconsidered detail.

Designing can sometimes be a really time consuming task, how do you manage your time?

Most of my time is spent thinking about improving my drawings.

How long does it take to design an object from beginning to end?

What goes through the mind of the designer is essential here. While a TV unit that looks simple to an outsider takes much time, designing a car may be finished in a much shorter time.

What is the most frequently asked question to you, as a designer?

What did you think of this detail?

What was your most important job experience?

My designs are precious because I take great care of them. But because of my interest in the sea, the Barva 60 project was a unique experience.

Who are some of your clients?

In my country, I have many clients working in professional groups, such as politicians, people in business, and senior executives.

What type of design work do you enjoy the most and why?

I loved designing boats because this industry is fragile. I have been examining world brands' production for years, and this industry should have gone much further.

What are your future plans? What is next for you?

I do not live with such a plan, but my new design will have something different from the ones in its class.

Do you work as a team, or do you develop your designs yourself?

Different people will not provide efficiency during the design phase of a product. But in the production phase, robustness, usability, etc. It would be more beneficial to work with the team.

Of course, we have a very experienced design team. Working as a team in the design and production phases would be beneficial.

Do you have any works-in-progress being designed that you would like to talk about?

I have new designs in my head all the time. This is already a designer's routine. As Barva Yachts, new structures, such as the Mamba 80 model, will attract attention, for which we have been awarded.

Mamba 80 Power Katamaran · 10 spørgsmål

Süper kahramanlar her zaman inanılmaz derecede güçlü ve gizemli olmuştur. Mamba 80 için planımız, dış tasarımıyla bir gizem duygusu yaratmaktı.

Your innovative approach to the Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's aggressive exterior design lines sets it apart in its class - could you elaborate on how Batman's mysterious aesthetic influenced your vision for this unique vessel?

Süper kahramanlar her zaman inanılmaz derecede güçlü ve gizemli olmuştur. Mamba 80 için planımız, dış tasarımıyla bir gizem duygusu yaratmaktı. Bu başarılmazsa ve dış tasarımınız etkileyici değilse, teknik özellikler, mühendislik, iç tasarım ve işçilik gibi kriterler anlamsız hale gelir. Dolayısıyla Batman estetik, güç ve gizem açısından ilham aldığımız bir karakter oldu.

The Mamba 80 Power Catamaran features an impressive 55m² saloon space - how did you balance the technical challenges of creating such expansive interior volumes while maintaining the vessel's striking exterior profile?

Bir konsept projeden farklı olarak, Mamba 80 projesi sadece benzersiz ve ilgi çekici değil, aynı zamanda üretilebilir. Bu nedenle, teknenin dış çizimleri, üretilebilirlik ilkeleri ve boyutları göz önünde bulundurularak çizilmiştir. Bunu başarmak için, bu tekne için teknik ve mühendislik becerileri çok önemli olduğundan, üretim uzmanlığımızdan yararlandık ve teknisyenlerimiz ve mühendislerimizle işbirliği yaptık.

What specific engineering considerations went into developing the Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's catamaran hull design to minimize vibration while achieving optimal performance with smaller engines?

Teknenizin başarılı olması için birçok faktörü bir araya getirmeniz gerekir. Motorlardan yüksek performans elde etmek için kendi mühendislik ekibimiz ve çalıştığımız motor firmasındaki mühendisler ile kapsamlı toplantılar gerçekleştirdik. Özel olarak tasarlanmış bu katamaran tekne, performans ve konforu bir araya getiriyor. Ayrıca hız, stabilite, manevra kabiliyeti, kaliteli malzeme, yüksek standartlarda işçilik ve deneyimli mühendisler başarılı bir sonuç ortaya çıkarmıştır.

The Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's aluminum construction presents unique challenges for creating complex curves - how did you overcome these material limitations while maintaining your bold design vision?

Yeni üretim sistemleri, malzemeler ve daha fazlası hakkında güncel kalmanız gerekir. Bu bilgi olmadan, inşa edilebilir bir proje tasarlamak çok zordur. Bu proje için öncelikle üretim tekniklerini, kullanılan malzemeleri ve daha fazlasını analiz etmek için çok sayıda tekne üretim tesisini ziyaret ettik. Bu bilgi birikimimizi çizim becerilerimiz ve üretim kabiliyetlerimizle birleştirerek projeyi tamamladık.

Your integration of solar panels and modern technology in the Mamba 80 Power Catamaran points to environmental consciousness - how does this approach influence the future of luxury yacht design?

Bir teknede yaşam için en önemli şeylerden biri enerjidir. Bunu da yakıt israf etmeden (jeneratör kullanarak) ve çevreyi kirletmeden sağlamak hayati önem taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle, bir proje tasarlarken ve geliştirirken doğayı unutmamalıyız. Mümkün olduğunca güneş panelleri kullanılmalıdır. En son güneş paneli teknolojisi ile daha küçük alanlarda daha yüksek enerji verimliliği elde etmek mümkündür. Mamba 80'in amacı, kullanılan tüm ürünlerin en kullanışlı ve gelişmiş olmasını sağlamaktır.

The Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's 0.80-meter draft enables exceptional accessibility - could you share how this technical achievement influenced your overall design decisions?

Mamba 80, 0,80 m su çekimi ile sığ sularda kolay yanaşma imkanı sağlar. Bu, iç tasarım çalışmalarımızı olumsuz etkilemedi çünkü başlangıçta tüm bu bilgilere sahiptik ve gemimizi teknik detayları ve mühendislik gereksinimlerini göz önünde bulundurarak tasarladık.

As the Mamba 80 Power Catamaran earned recognition with an A' Design Award, how has this achievement influenced your perspective on pushing boundaries in marine vessel design?

Tasarım başarısı elde etmek istiyorsanız, benzersiz ve kullanışlı bir ürün yaratmalısınız. Bu aynı zamanda tekneler için de geçerlidir. Suda kendini tekrar eden, sadece küçük değişikliklerle yeni modeller olarak ortaya çıkan ürünlerden hoşlanmıyoruz. Bu nedenle tamamen özgün, yeni nesil bir ürün ortaya çıkarmak istedik. Gelecek projelerimizde, mühendisliğin izin verdiği ölçüde tasarım sınırlarını zorlamayı hedefliyoruz.

The Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's development process spanned approximately one year - what were the most significant evolutionary changes from initial concept to final design?

Projenizin bir konsept değil, inşa edilebilir bir proje olması, hayal gücünüzü biraz zorlar. Başlangıçta daha sıradışı, daha agresif bir tasarım yarattık. Ancak, üretilebilirlik, kullanılabilirlik, performans, güvenlik ve mühendislik gibi faktörleri göz önünde bulundurarak kendimizi kısıtladık. Kapsamlı testlerden sonra projemizi tamamladık.

Could you elaborate on how the Mamba 80 Power Catamaran's dual capability for traditional and electric propulsion systems influenced your design approach?

Mamba 80 ile tüm gereksinimleri (iç tasarım, motor seçenekleri, kabin yerleşim seçenekleri vb.) karşılayabilecek bir tasarım oluşturmayı hedefledik. Konvansiyonel tahrik şu anda en yaygın kullanılan sistemdir. Bununla birlikte, elektrikli tahrikin modern dünyada da giderek daha yaygın hale geldiğini hatırlamak önemlidir. Mamba 80 sahibi olmak isteyenler için, her iki sistemi de barındırabilecek gövdeler tasarladık. Yani, seçim senin.

The Mamba 80 Power Catamaran represents a bold departure from conventional yacht aesthetics - how do you envision this design influencing future trends in luxury marine vessels?

Mamba 80'i tasarlarken, onlarca benzer tekne modelinden sapmaya mecbur hissettik. Çünkü teknolojinin sürekli geliştiğine inanıyorsam, tasarımların da evrim geçirmesi ve yenilik yapması gerektiğine inanıyorum. Bir arama motoruna "güçlü katamaran" yazıp yıllardır birbirine çok benzeyen ürünlerin görsellerini gördüğünüzde yeni tasarımlara olan ihtiyaç ortaya çıkıyor. Umarım Mamba 80 üretime girer ve yeni tasarım serilerinin önünü açar.
