Designer Interview

25 April 2016

The desire for being a designer started in my childhood. I always thought about the products that they can be more stylish and functional. And now I have won 8 international design award.

We export more than 30 countries including Russia, Germany, Hungary, Greece, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Cameroon and South Africa.
All products of our company are marketed by Ihlas Marketing, the distributor company, with a widespread agency network and selling channels.

I think design is like poem. In poem there should be harmony of sound between words.L In design, all the items should have harmony as in a poem.

The products that make people's life easier.

My favorite design is Aura Cleanmax/roboclean SPLUS beacause it makes people's life healtier.

A instant water heater.

In the evenings.

Ergonomics and easy usage.

I feel that I will have a baby soon.

I feel that my baby has been borned.

To see your design as your child.

I think if it is distinctive, it is good.

To design products that facilitate people's lives and make them feel good.

The last exhibition is Canton Exhibition in April, 2016.

My main inspiration source is our customers.

I live in Istanbul, Turkey. Cultural heritage doesn't affect my designs too much.

I work for only Ihlas Ev Aletleri that is the company that I work there.

Firstly, companies should look at the designer's history. Designer must have international desig awards.

Imaginativeness

Having different perspectives form other poeple are most important.

I work with my team.
