About Me
I am Denizay Apusoglu, a multidisciplinary designer who is fascinated by doing hands-on conceptual work. I am exploring the ways of being in the world, in communication with material and spatial relationships towards our needs and emotions.
My focus areas respectively are: product design, design research and spatial design. Experimental form finding, material expressions and fictional social interventions are the methods of my creative process to imagine new possibilities.
I live in Zürich, work as an industrial designer at Geberit and currently laying the foundations of Studio Eidola with Jonas Kissling. I am always willing and eager to create and collaborate!
