Designnobis
Designnobis gathered as a team during the university. The leadership of Dr. Hakan Gürsu and the participation of his students from different eras and levels created the amateur spirit of Designnobis. Designnobis Ltd. officially founded in the summer of 2006 serves as a research and development company in product design, genuine architectural and visualization services. We present an enormous success in both domestic and international arena since that time. We keep on reaching our targets and further goals with an increasing acceleration. All we know is company’s success comes first. Most of our designs are serious supporters of functional and user friendly design. During the time we got these design concepts a little bit further and began to design functional, user friendly and representative products in terms of emotion. We tried not to make them figurative but evoke something in people’s minds whom they should identify the design with something in their life. We believe that, the success of a design depends on how you can handle the hidden ties between the product and user, like design and emotion. The most of our company’s products depend on this philosophy.For more info: www.designnobis.com
