Because almost my entire family are artist, designer or architect so it can be said that I didn’t see any other proffesion. I was interested in social sciences when I was in high school but eventually that’s the point that I came now.
I like to design small objects. I think that there is a huge difference between objects that people like to show in their living areas and objects that which they entered into. For example cars, boats, etc.
Raymond Loewys pencil sharpener. I think forcing an object that much for the trend which he adopts shows a designers sagacity. But this is just an example. How can say that this one is my favorite whilw there the design history is full of great objects.
İ feel more curious. While i was creating a product, there can be a difference between how i designed the product in my mind at first and the product which i designed end up with.
The most important criteria which is affecting me to create a product are biomimicry and iconic objects. (hourglass, telescope etc.) Besides that listening expectations of people also affecting me to realized my design.
I am trying to blend modernist style and oriantel style. I am also searching an innovator, elegant and exotic design language. Generally, ı am trying to get main shapes of my products from nature itself and iconic objects.
I live in Turkey, My countrie’s designing culture developed by old civilizations such as Hittite, Byzantium, Ottoman, etc. I can easily say that Turkey has a great design potential however It has no unique design culture yet.
It always starts with a blank paper. I like sketching without asking anything to anyone and without researching. After the researching process I am taking opinions of target customers, and then I started to add things into my first sketches.
Graphic tablet, Adobe photoshop, Rhinoceros, Keyshot, Fusion 360, Autocad and blank paper. My inspiration usually come from city itself and history. I can’t find inspiration from magazines or etc.
There is no time limitation in my working hours right now. I always time for working so it is hard to make an inference for that. However, I can easily say that working at nights is the best option for me right now.
I like to design objects that people can wear. Also I like to design objects that people want to put it into their houses. I believe that these kind of objects makes people to internalize.
Right now I am studying at Mimar Sinan Fıne Arts University from where my father is graduated from. Almost my entire family members are artists, architects or designers.
Luigi Colani, Raymond Loewy, Phillippe Starck, Dieter Rams, Joe Colombo, Hartmut Esslinger, Fran von Holzhausen are the first ones that comes to my mind.
