Mission​
​
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.

Value
Studio re24 believes in the power of art and design to transform the world. Her creations serve as reminders of nature’s richness and vitality, inviting us to rethink the relationship between humans and the environment. She recognizes that material is not merely a passive medium but an active entity with its own process of existence—one that evolves, transforms, and responds to its surroundings.
​
Approaching her work through a phenomenological lens, she crafts objects that are not solely visual but are also experienced through the senses—touchable, fragrant, and ever-changing over time. This perspective shifts the viewer from being a passive observer to an engaged participant, witnessing the transformation of the piece.
​
Her research, based on bio-based and waste-derived materials, considers matter not as a static element but as a living and active substance. Positioned at the intersection of art, design, and science, her work aims not only to create aesthetic va lue but also to foster sensory and environmental awareness.
​
At Studio re24, she aspires to redefine material engagement for the future, emphasizing its living, evolving, and interactive nature. Sensory experience lies at the core of her relationship with matter.
