Klan Studio
Klan Studio is a design office founded in Istanbul in 2017 by Işık Görgün Oral and E. Akın Oral, who combined the knowledge and experience they had each accumulated across various sectors. With over 20 years of design and production expertise, Klan Studio provides product design services to companies operating in distinctly different fields including office, outdoor, and horeca furniture, as well as the marine and machinery industries.
User Experience
For Klan Studio, the starting point of good design is always the human being. The studio places the user’s relationship with space, their daily habits, and their evolving needs at the heart of every design process. Every detail, every formal decision, and every material choice is informed by a single question: how will this product be experienced in real life? This approach lifts design beyond a purely aesthetic exercise, transforming objects into meaningful ones that forge strong and lasting connections with their users.
Aesthetics and Functionality
Klan Studio treats aesthetics and functionality as two equally weighted criteria that balance one another striving to satisfy both simultaneously rather than sacrificing one for the other. The studio regards its partners’ corporate identities and production conditions as integral to the design process, keeping manufacturability as an active parameter at every stage. The result is a body of work that adapts to sectoral differences, resonates with shifting global dynamics, and takes shape as distinctive solutions that set each brand apart from its competitors.
