Transforming Nature into Art and Design: Studio re24's Innovative Eco-Materials
In the bustling metropolis of Istanbul, amidst the chaos of urban life, there exists a beacon of creativity and sustainability that is reshaping our relationship with the natural world. Studio re24, a material design studio, is at the forefront of a movement that seeks to redefine the boundaries between art, design, and nature through the innovative use of eco-materials.
Vision
At the heart of Studio re24's philosophy lies a deep reverence for the environment and a commitment to harnessing the beauty and resilience of natural materials. Led by designer Elif Aybüke Turgut, whose research at Bilgi University forms the foundation of the studio's approach, Studio re24 embraces a holistic vision that integrates intuitive design principles with a cyclical understanding of nature's processes.
The studio's focus on bio-based objects is not just an aesthetic choice, but a conscious decision to create pieces of art and design that bridge humanity and the natural world. Using materials derived from renewable resources such as herbs, spices, natural binders, and eggshells, Studio re24's creations blur the lines between art and nature, embodying a symbiotic relationship with the environment.
