The Stone & More collection has an innovative design suggestion that aims to remove the démodé perception against the classic product typologies of products in the natural stone sector.The product benefits from a variety of stone textures and was created with a design language employing new forms and uses. It is comprised of two separate series, “Vertica” and “Eclipse” which enables ability to personalize and diversify applications that is achieved through the union of various units in the collection puts the user to the design process to encourage creativity. “Vertica”: The series that has a dynamic character, with its parallel diagonal cut and sharp contours, enables the user to achieve motion and stability at any point they want with the background module. “Eclipse”: With its soft contours and consecutive multi layered form has a simple and flowing stance. While a feeling of depth creates a strong texture with the modules they can be installed parallel or vertical.

CHALLENGE:
The collection series display diversity within themselves but in the totality of the collection the forms repeat themselves with dimension and color differences to provide the user with a variety of opportunities to use them in a flexible scenario. The new Stone & More collection, which enables personalization by the user, makes the difference added by the use of natural stone in living areas prominent. In this area where industrial design contribution has not been achieved up to now, an innovative design language has been created with the design input and the boundaries of production methods have been pushed. With this in mind, the goal has been to create inspiration for new products that will come out in the sector and product groups and pave the way.

The lights are set up around the cymbal and they react to the sound that comes out of the cymbal.

It is a way of visualizing the sound with light and you can both hear the sound vibrating and see that vibration in the dims of the light.

The main purpose is to give an idea of how a project borns, developes or dies in minds. Therefore you can see a mind map of design projects in general.

It took 10 hours to install the whole structure at night and morning. Having no sleep at all, i could not leave the shopping mall just to see the reactions of visitors. After that intense working days, it was great to be doing something for public use. I spent whole day to watch how people looked at it, how they used it,how they became a part of it. The second day, i could see the kids footprints on the seatings and cotton candy stains on the grass.

Thanks to everyone who made it possible. Special thanks to Gokhan who has been my partner for the whole project.

Happy New Year !!!
