Tuğçe Yakup
Industrial Designer
Originally from Bursa, Tuğçe studied Industrial Design at Bilgi University in Istanbul. During her university years, Tuğçe particularly enjoyed spending time in the workshop, which inspired her to become more involved in the production side of design — now her main source of motivation as a designer.
Tuğce’s designs aim to provide an embracing experience for the user by incorporating rounded shapes, plush accents, sustainable materials and minimalism to evoke feelings of serenity and tenderness. Her recent design Rise has attracted the international design community’s attention by winning an IF Design Award.
