Aparat grafts a design studio and production workshop onto your project team.
We design, develop and produce our own designs or yours, whether they feature unusual forms, functions, mechanisms or materials. Veterans of CAD and Viz software, we come equipped with a range of engineering, prototyping and building experience and capabilities, so that, whether your design is fully rendered or just a fuzzy idea, we can come in at any stage of the project to take it through production.
While based in Istanbul, we enjoyed access to a rich ecosystem of makers. We were not only thinking about design, we were making it, in collaboration with artisans in their workshops and tradesmen in their factories. In the process of getting our own work fabricated, we learned the importance of listening and communicating constantly and clearly to get the job done right. We're able to understand not just the technical aspects of your project, but the intention and subtleties that make your design unique and the importance of preserving that unique intention throughout the process.
