CNVS
When designing the space for ATÖLYE, our team needed a modular, robust and affordable furniture set made with natural materials. After doing some market research, it was evident that there was a gap both locally and globally. The existing models either lacked proper detailing, or they were not robust enough to withstand heavy usage by a wide gamut of individuals.As a framework, the idea of “canvas” emerged, emphasizing a background that is open to endless variations along with the minimum infrastructure to hold the space together. Conceptually, CNVS can be interpreted through its meaning in biology: Copy Number Variations (CNVs), used to describe the variation in the number of the copies of a particular gene in the DNA of an individual.

LIMINAL
The project was developed for the needs of ATÖLYE after observing that the workspace needed a low-power, minimalist desk lighting unit. After researching the market, it was evident that there were either low-quality local options with limited range of use, or expensive import options that could not be used at scale. As a result, a collaborative design process started between ATÖLYE’s core team and Buşra Tunç.Early on in the process, ATOLYE’s members were engaged in the brainstorming and ideation phases. Scenarios were mapped to better understand all the contexts in which LIMINAL could illuminate its surroundings. By careful analysis, idea variations such as ceiling lighting, battery-powered system, kelvin-changing LED system and smartp... More

CASULO
The CASULO studio is a changing space, designed in a container, where we want to demonstrate how today dwelling can be flexible. With this, the project allows different "faces" from the same fixed furniture.

We imagine an interactive and lively place. The idea is that by simple layouts new systems are established enabling the use environment for different activities. From a living space, a barber or even a small residence. MOUNTING With the emergence of new construction technologies, the container comes as a new alternative. Basically the structure comprises a contain... More
Project • By PKMN [pac-man] • Private Houses
All I Own House
The relationships we establish with the objects we own happen on a very special manner at the interior of our houses, we assume spaces we inhabit by surrounding ourselves with our belongings, thus the way in which we accumulate and display our stuff through the space ends up reflecting our personality.
The reasons leading us to accumulate objects are many, functional or not; we may acquire something because we feel they represent us or just because we think they’re pretty; we become ourselves emotional interior designers, there exists a close relationship between the way in which we arrange our house, the events that take place in it and the way in which these experiences affect us.
Each of our possessions has its own private story, a m... More
Affair
Trade fairs are like big cities: no two are the same. And, ideally, your furniture should be just as varied. It should be flexible, resilient, almost infinitely configurable – in other words, exactly like Affair. As an all-rounder, Affair can be grouped to form seat-ing islands or corners, never-ending sofas or waiting benches. And regrouped for any occasion and any purpose. More
