Über Seyhan Ozdemir

Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Çaglar are "Autoban". They met on the historic grounds of the Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, where she studied architecture and he qualified in interior design. When they left the school in 1998 the Turkish design industry was suffering from lack of identity. In other words, there were no design maps thumbtacking Istanbul.
As architects and designers, they both believed in the transformative power of modern design with an emotional touch. Having realised that they are sharing the same individualistic approach, and gained enough experience by working for other people, Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Ça?lar established Autoban in 2003. Since then, a lot of things have happened.
As Autoban they have worked (and continue to work) on various interior projects, both commercial and residential. Addition to this product design venture came out as a rational extension of their interior work. Soon these products gained huge demand from the public, and led them to pursue a different career in design.
