Artworks with MDF Laminated Panels
Installation, 2024

Istanbul, TR
2025 IF Design Award
Inspired by İstanbul, this artwork installation explores how memory can be carried through material.
Using Yıldız Entegre’s own surfaces, a series of compositions emerged from the city’s textures, landscapes, and traces. Installed within a historic building, the project is rooted in a simple contrast: contemporary industrial materials placed within a structure shaped by time.
Rather than representing the city directly, the installation assembles fragments of texture, colour, and memory into a layered narrative that unfolds through material, inviting visitors to form their own connections with place and time.
Förni Showroom
Showroom Design, 2024
in collaboration with demirden | ilio Istanbul, TR
Designed as the first showroom for Förni, the strategy was shaped by the brand’s “Traditionally Sustainable” manifesto.
The walls draw on Förni’s long-standing expertise in solid wood, using the material not only in the furniture itself but also as an architectural backdrop.
White textile screens are suspended throughout the space, gently defining different product families. Rather than creating fixed boundaries, they introduce flexibility, allowing the showroom to remain open and adaptable.
Sini for Förni
Product Design, 2023
in collaboration with demirden | ilio
Istanbul, TR
Designed for Förni and inspired by the sini, a traditional object of gathering and sharing, the table explores how cultural memory can be carried through form.
The angled legs create a subtle illusion of perspective, giving the table a contemporary expression while keeping it rooted in its origins.
Crafted from solid wood.
Care For Your World, Unicera 2021
Exhibition Design, 2021
in collaboration with demirden | ilio Istanbul, TR
Inspired by the brand’s “Take Care of Your World” approach, this structure was designed as a reusable system composed of timber and custom metal connection elements. It can adapt to different scenarios, be dismantled and reassembled, and continuously transform over time. Graphics and messages are not additions to the structure, but integral parts of the system itself. Capable of evolving into different formats for exhibitions, products, and communication, the structure does not conceal its materiality; it remains exposed, sufficient, and reusable.
Stuff Smoothie + Coffee
Renovation, 2018
in collaboration with Gamze İşcan
Istanbul, TR
Located in Moda, Stuff is one of the neighborhood’s first smoothie bars. The renovation reinterprets the space in response to its evolving needs, while preserving the character of the original interior.
A restrained material palette and a new white surface establish a quiet dialogue with the existing exposed brick wall. The spatial layout is reorganized to create a more open and fluid interior. A former restroom area is transformed into storage, connected to the bar through a clean-cut arched passage.
Relocating the bar towards the façade allows for a more generous seating area, while custom-designed movable furniture extends the space towards the street. Fully opening front windows blur the boundary between inside and outside, allowing the bar to become part of Moda’s everyday street life.
Kavel for Förni
Product Design, 2023
in collaboration with demirden | ilio
Istanbul, TR
Inspired by the temporary structures of Istanbul’s street markets, this shelving system translates an everyday urban scene into a permanent object which is designed for Förni.
While the rear legs remain orthogonal to the ground plane, the front legs are inclined inward by five degrees. This deviation from the vertical generates a shifting perception of alignment and depth, causing the object to read differently from varying viewpoints. It creates an illusion through a minimal geometric intervention.
Crafted from solid wood.
Circular Dreams
Installation, 2025
in collaboration with demirden | ilio
Istanbul, TR
Circular Dreams explores the possibility of a future shaped by materials that have outlived their original purpose.
Commissioned by Turkish Furniture Associations Federation for FDI 2025 Fair Foyer.
The installation suspends recycled plastic chairs within a scaffold structure and filters them through translucent polycarbonate surfaces, creating a layered field of shifting perceptions.
Positioned as a landmark within the exhibition, it also serves as a wayfinding element, helping visitors orient and navigate the space. By recontextualizing familiar objects, the project reflects on transformation, reuse, and the potential futures embedded within everyday materials.
Designed Surfaced That Blend with Landscape, Interzum 2023
Exhibition Design, 2023
in collaboration with demirden | ilio Cologne, DE 2023 German Design Award
Conceived as a material landscape, the installation brings together panels, textures, and finishes within a single spatial composition. Inspired by natural forms and layered terrains, it encourages a slower way of looking—allowing materials to be experienced not as isolated samples, but through their relationships with one another.
Calm & Glam
Product Design, 2025
in collaboration with demirden | ilio Istanbul, TR
Commissioned as a surface sample catalogue, it evolved into a multi-sensory storytelling experience.
What began as a material presentation was transformed into a narrative journey from the calm of morning to the glamour of night, which was enriched by curated playlists, tactile interactions, imagery, and poetic content, inviting users to become part of the story rather than browse a collection.
Listen to Curated Playlists for CALMGLAM Paşabahçe Flagship Store
Retail Design, 2021
in collaboration with demirden | ilio Istanbul, TR
Designed for Paşabahçe, the flagship store explores how a retail space can become a contemporary expression of glass culture.
The 1200 sqm project creates a series of experiences that reveal the material’s history, versatility, and presence in everyday life. Physical and digital layers work together to guide visitors through an evolving journey of discovery.
Rooted in ideas of sustainability, innovation, and cultural continuity, the store redefines retail as a space for engagement, learning, and inspiration.
Layerscape
Product Design, 2023
in collaboration with demirden | ilio
Istanbul, TR
Designed as a gift for designers and clients, it remains as a lasting reminder of the dialogue between material, landscape, and everyday life.
The product brings together layers of the brand’s own materials to form quiet miniature landscapes. Each surface carries a different texture and, coming together, like fragments of nature assembled by hand. The object becomes something to pause and look through, like a small scenery shaped by light and material. Together, the layers create a soft dialogue between industry and nature, transforming industrial panels into a poetic object.
