Aleyna YİGİT

I was born in 1997 in Bursa, Türkiye, and work as a designer specializing in architecture, furniture, and material curation.

My design philosophy is rooted in urban thinking. I earned a Bachelor's degree in City and Regional Planning from Dokuz Eylül University, followed by a Master's degree in City Planning from Istanbul Technical University. This academic foundation taught me to understand space across multiple scales—from the urban environment to the interior—and to approach design as an integrated system rather than a collection of individual objects.

I believe that furniture should never be considered in isolation. Instead, I focus on how each element contributes to circulation, proportion, material continuity, functionality, and the long-term performance of a space. My design decisions are guided equally by spatial logic, context, and aesthetics.

At Expolisi, I curate and develop furniture and architectural products for high-end residential and hospitality projects. Working closely with architects throughout the specification and execution phases, I ensure that every selected piece supports the architectural vision while integrating seamlessly into the overall spatial concept.

My responsibilities include material research, product development, detailing, and project coordination, bridging conceptual design with practical, buildable solutions.

For me, successful design is not about adding more elements—it is about making thoughtful, precise decisions that allow architecture to speak for itself.
