Founded in 2020 by Aslı Filiz Gün Tosyalı, nug is a boutique studio for architecture, interior and experimental design based in Urla/Izmir with roots in Frankfurt am Main, which is reflected in the understanding of design as cultural diversity.
The core focus of nug lies in comprehensive design thinking, guiding projects from conceptualization to realization. The studio is driven by the aspiration to transcend conventional boundaries, advocating for a multidisciplinary approach that serves as an intersection between architecture, design, and art.
Influenced by the dynamic forces of nature and the ever-evolving environment, nug delves into the analysis, reinterpretation, and integration of existing lifestyles, cultural heritage, and traditional techniques, weaving them seamlessly into the contemporary zeitgeist. This commitment to thoughtful design is geared towards crafting a sustainable future.
The portfolio of nug reflects a rich cultural background, manifesting in designs that articulate complex thought processes and lifestyles. Clear design languages, locally sourced materials, and expert craftsmanship form recurring elements that define nug's signature aesthetic.
With a mission to shape a sustainable society through timeless design, nug strives to develop visionary concepts that not only embrace but also adapt to individual cultures and lifestyles. This involves creating designs that simplify everyday living while remaining attuned to the pulse of the times.
