Submission declined on 27 October 2024 by Qcne (talk).

This submission appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. Encyclopedia articles need to be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the subject being discussed. This is important so that the article can meet Wikipedia's verifiability policy and the notability of the subject can be established. If you still feel that this subject is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, please rewrite your submission to comply with these policies.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you have not resolved the issues listed above, your draft will be declined again and potentially deleted.
If you need extra help, please ask us a question at the AfC Help Desk or get live help from experienced editors.

Autoban

Autoban is an internationally renowned multidisciplinary studio that works across architecture & interiors, and product & experiential design, forging a reputation for thoughtfulness, experimentation and craftsmanship.

Known for its signature multi-layered design approach grounded in storytelling, Autoban creates stimulating and sensory environments and experiences that are deeply rooted in history, location and culture, while pushing boundaries and challenging expectations.

Following the credo of “Form, Function, Experience”, Autoban’s philosophy is to create meaningful designs that put forward enthralling narratives. Singularity in experience is achieved through multiplicity in design, rich materials and textures are layered to create minimal forms and create truly unique, timeless and memorable experiences that speak powerfully to both place and people.

Founded in 2003 by Seyhan Özdemir Sarper and Sefer Çağlar, Autoban is credited with redefining the cityscape of Istanbul, and the studio’s portfolio includes award-winning work in hospitality, transportation, commercial, retail, office and public realm environments in major cities across Europe and Central and South-East Asia. Notable recent works include the new Manchester Stock Exchange Hotel, the Joali Being and Joali Maldives Resorts, and the Heydar Aliyev International Airport terminal in Baku.

Autoban also has a signature furniture and lighting collection that is sold at over 50 points internationally. Product and experiential designs have been showcased at major design exhibitions, installations and art events worldwide, including LDF, ICFF, Salon Del Mobile, Design Biennale Interieur Kortrijk ve London Design Biennale.

Autoban has been internationally recognized with distinctive design awards such as the Wallpaper Magazine Best Newcomers Award in 2004, 2022 Red Dot Design Award for Architecture and Interior Design for the Galataport Cruise Terminal , the Wallpaper Magazine Best Newcomers Award in 2004; the Skytrax World Airports Awards “World’s Best Business Class Airport Lounge”, the 2014 Red Dot Design Award and Architizer Jury’s Special Award in the airport category for the design of the Heydar Aliyev International Airport; and the International Yacht & Aviation Award in Interior Design for Aquarius (the 45m superyacht).
