Designers Yellowdot

Yellowdot was founded by the designers Bodin Hon and Dilara Kan. Through a collaborative spirit, embodying a playful yet exploratory approach combined with a sustainable and people-driven ethos, their work has resulted in an audacious portfolio that encompasses products, interior design, exhibition design and furniture.
They collaborate with a diverse client base and across industries and categories, from mass-produced electronics, home appliances, lighting, technology, fashion to handcrafted objects and furniture.
Bodin is an ex-NASA engineer who trained at Rice University in Houston before entering the field of industrial design in Milano where designed for an electronics manufacturer upon graduation at Istituto Europeo di Design. He has a deep understanding of materials and technology and the sensibility of a maker. 
Dilara grew up in Turkey and studied at the Marmara University Faculty of Fine Arts. Her practice is rooted in her astute eye for visual culture and appreciation of the crafts; 
Since their meeting at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan, their ability to combine their diverse backgrounds and skills has enabled Yellowdot to work coherently across multiple disciplines and develop its own distinctive expression, which sees its basis in the strive of translating fantastical design ideas to the context of production, while imbuing a delightful element of surprise in their projects.​
