Interview with Oksal Yesilok

Design, sometimes function, sometimes aesthetic, or both. Each area has a sense of design, but for me it's more than the planning function. Passion is aesthetic, unique, and creativity.

I love arty and at the same time minimal and stylish designs.

I designed an architectural catalog.

I like to apply various techniques by hand made. This could be everything. Paint, gold leaf, marker etc. I love transparent materials, like glass and Poly(methyl methacrylate).

I usually enjoy more than working at night, but sometimes it feels better to start early in the day.

I always keep my motivation, and I continue with the same excitement.

Design balance, rhythm and ratio.

In Slovenia, I participated in a theme exhibition of toy designs for small and big kids.

I can get inspiration from everything around me. There is no limit to this. People, nature, objects and various objects.

For the moment I like to use minimalistic, elegant lines. But I think I will change over time.

Time and space are so important, they have a motivating influence for me. Legolandan, a book I bought by liking its design, everything that stood around. I am more productive when I create my own space. I am more curious when producing a new design idea. I'm starting the research and sharing my ideas with people around. I value people who have their own talents, I follow them, I observe them. This may be a gallery artist or a craftsman.

You start to look at everything around you with aesthetic perception and you can really choose the right and creative one. For a person with this perception the world is really complex. :)

Being different.

Being a good researcher and talented.

I make use of a lot of books. At the same time I follow the many design platforms.
