Awards from Our Graduates !

On January 11-12, the Furniture Design Creathon, organized in collaboration with MeltemKids and Ananas Design Crafts as part of the ‘Create in İzmir’ project led by İzmir University of Economics, took place at the EGİAD Social and Cultural Activities Center. During the Creathon, participants worked in teams with the support of mentors, utilizing design-oriented learning and creative thinking techniques to develop inspiring projects, bring their innovative ideas to life, and propose novel solutions in furniture design. 

Students and alumni from the Department of Industrial Design at İzmir Institute of Technology participated extensively in the event. Among the participating teams, two groups involving our students received awards. The first-place award was presented to Eren Kam and İlsu Uslu, while the third-place award went to Çağla Gülerman, Murat Sayın, and Enhar İmer. Their award-winning projects, “Pertev” and “Mono Tripod,” were granted the opportunity for production. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to our students and wish them continued success in their endeavors. 

We also express our gratitude to all participants and contributors for their efforts in these events, which aim to steer the industry through innovative ideas.
