From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

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).  

Autoban’s expansive portfolio was also honored with a 2014 Gestalten publication that presents a rich selection of the studio’s first ten years of work.
