YET. is an Istanbul – London based interdisciplinary design studio that was established in 2019 to create, curate and design timeless and functional environments. Believing that the creation process is a whole, our vision extends to interior architecture, product & furniture design, graphic design, and consultancy. YET. stands as a dynamic and collaborative design studio. Our core belief is that outstanding design should harmonize beauty and functionality. Drawing inspiration from a variety of disciplines, we endeavor to craft products and spaces that not only showcase aesthetic appeal but also push boundaries, challenging conventional norms. We combine our extensive experience with a flexible, innovative mindset to uncover new opportunities. Regardless of what we design or create, our goal is consistently to captivate the senses, evoke authentic emotions, and foster meaningful dialogue. Whether it's an office, a playground, a publication, or a chair, we consistently focus on exploring the myriad possibilities for intimate interaction with our surroundings. The name YET. refers to the concept of incompleteness in design process, acknowledging that every project is an ongoing journey rather than a final destination. We believe in the beauty of the unfinished, allowing us to continually refine and enhance our creations over time and through experience.
Philosophy: adaptive geometric elegance
At the core of our philosophy lies an honest aesthetic that showcases power and beauty in simple geometric shapes with a playful approach. We aim to create timeless designs by combining the minimalism based sculptural forms in our products with the inherent perfect imperfections of the materials we choose, blending them with traditional craftsmanship exclusively for each piece. In this direction, we aspire to create not only aesthetically pleasing but also emotionally satisfying products and spaces by merging our personal passion and design discipline.
Production: crafting uniqueness
While our design philosophy spans globally, we attain top-notch quality by conducting the entire process, from development to production, on a local scale. Local craftsmanship plays a pivotal role in transforming ideas and experiences from diverse cultures and environments into tangible objects. Holistic understanding of the manufacturing process – from tools to materials and environmental concerns – not only makes the whole process more efficient, but adds clarity and purpose to the designs.
Our production process is a testament to our dedication to unparalleled craftsmanship and exclusivity. Each of our products is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, with an emphasis on intense handiwork and attention to detail. We take pride in the exclusivity of our creations — each piece is unique, made-to-order, and exclusive to our discerning customers. Our designs not only showcase high-quality craftsmanship but also serve as a revival of endangered crafts, reintroducing and preserving artisanal techniques that are at risk of disappearing. Through our work, we strive to reestablish the value of manual labor and ensure that the artistry and dedication of skilled craftsmen receive the recognition and appreciation they rightfully deserve.
