Design Process of Our Elvish Bottle

DESIGNED BY “OYA AKMAN”

The design of the ELVISH bottle belongs to Industrial Product Designer Dr. Oya Akman, who has nearly 40 years of experience in the design world.

Oya Akman takes her motivation from nature. While describing nature with a “simple symbolization”, she also reflects the geometric forms of nature in her works. The designer, who cares about being innovative, found the inspiration of the ELVISH bottle in the form of a pinecone.

Oya Akman completed her bachelor, master and doctoral studies at Mimar Sinan University. She has worked as a designer in furniture, textile, ceramics, plastic and glass sectors throughout her professional career.

In addition, she participated in many fairs and exhibitions in Turkey and abroad such as Frankfurt Fair Ambiente, Istanbul Design Week, ILk in Milano, IFA Fair German Design Council Exhibition Design Award Nominee Selection and more.
