Designer Spotlight: Ismail Ozalbayak
Ismail Ozalbayak is a student of design by trade and by choice. He uses simple lines and form to produce minimalist pieces that each have a unique element that sets them apart from their contemporaries. For instance, the above pictured Kubus Modular Furniture System uses the principles of interactive design and combines them with an innovative style – the black foam center, surrounded by the polyurethane casing – and innovative functionality – all six sides of the cubes have integrated velcro to ensure no sliding once you’ve created your personalized form. All of his work has these little touches, which are enough to make them, and the designer, stand out from the crowd.
