THE FIRST COLLECTION, ANKRAJ, EMERGES FROM THE EXTENSIVE FOUNDATION OF EXPERIENCES AT DAS EXPERIMENT STUDIO AND FATMA SEZGIN YAYLA’S RICH PROFESSIONAL AND INTELLECTUAL PURSUITS. AT DAS EXPERIMENT STUDIO, CONCEPTS OF CITY, SPACE, NATURE, ARCHITECTURE, AND MATERIAL ARE EXPLORED ACROSS VARIOUS SCALES. THROUGH DAS PIECES, THESE LARGER IDEAS ARE DISTILLED INTO SMALLER, TACTILE FORMS.

ANKRAJ CENTERS AROUND VASE DESIGNS PRODUCED USING 3D PRINTING TECHNOLOGY AND CRAFTED FROM RECYCLED AND RECYCLABLE MATERIALS, FOCUSING ON DESIGNS THAT ARE AS ENVIRONMENTALLY CONSCIOUS AS THEY ARE VISUALLY ENGAGING. SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY ARE AT THE HEART OF THE DESIGN PROCESS, WITH CAREFUL ATTENTION GIVEN TO MATERIAL CHOICES. SOME VASES ARE MADE FROM RECYCLED MATERIALS, WHILE OTHERS USE FULLY RECYCLABLE COMPONENTS, REINFORCING A COMMITMENT TO REDUCING ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT. EACH VASE IS UNIQUELY PRODUCED, BEARING ITS OWN DISTINCT MARKS AND CHARACTER AS A REFLECTION OF A SLOW, INTENTIONAL PRODUCTION PROCESS. THIS METHOD ALLOWS FOR A LEVEL OF CRAFTSMANSHIP THAT ADDS BOTH ARTISTIC AND EMOTIONAL VALUE TO EACH OBJECT.

INFORMED BY THE ONGOING DIALOGUE BETWEEN ARCHITECTURE AND NATURE, THE HARMONY AND CONTRASTS BETWEEN THESE REALMS ARE SEAMLESSLY INTEGRATED INTO THE DESIGNS. THESE SERVE AS GUIDING PRINCIPLES, TRANSFORMING ABSTRACT IDEAS INTO PHYSICAL OBJECTS THAT BRIDGE THE DIGITAL WORLD WITH HUMAN EXPERIENCE, ENGAGING OUR SENSES AND CONNECTING WITH THE NATURAL ENVIRONMENT. DAS PIECES BELIEVES THAT DESIGN OBJECTS, THROUGH THEIR FORM, MATERIAL, TEXTURE, AND COLOR, CAN TOUCH THE USER’S MOOD, INFUSING SPACES WITH JOY, ENERGY, AND A DEEPER CONNECTION TO THEIR SURROUNDINGS.
