My name is Deniz Üner

After graduating from Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University  (Istanbul) with a bachelor's degree in interior architecture,

I completed my master's degree in furniture design at Aalto University / Helsinki with my thesis "Design for Modularity".

I exhibited my works at various fairs in Istanbul, Tokyo, Helsinki and Stockholm.

 

I believe all branches of design are inseparable and in all its aspects, design should aim to produce high-quality and long-lasting solutions, making our daily life more pleasant and comfortable. In my work while aiming for functionality and environmental sensitivity, I embrace human-centered design approaches.

 

I have worked for companies as product design lead for many years, now I continue my design practices under my own brand, Super Basic Me - Sbm Brand.

A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT 

SBM BRAND

SBM BRAND is the name under which I investigate and conduct furniture and product designs for everyday life.

 

​“SBM” Stands for “Super Basic Me”, is a concept I created to articulate the essence of my design philosophy; it explores and interrogates the simple yet impactful contributions of everyday life to our intellectual and emotional worlds, while inspiring me with the richness of daily existence.
