Design
A designer thinks a lot and tries to capture the different among the many lines. They must think differently. When designing for today, a designer should consider competitors, trends, and user needs, and make observations for decades to come. This observation should focus not only on the sector but also on the entire industrial process. The changing lives of the user should be questioned, and they should understand which countries have the technology, educational trends in universities, what's selling more on the streets, politics, fashion, cinema, poetry, art, and artists, and reflect this in their products.
Design is not production, but a way of understanding life; it is life. We must give meaning to our designs. While generating good ideas is what we enjoy most, simply making ourselves happy isn't enough in design; the connection between the product and the customer is what matters most to us and what makes us happy. That's why, as designers, we are aware that design is not just about aesthetic perception. The point where design differs from art is; Designers are primarily concerned with the manufacturability of their products, followed by their usability. We also prioritize design and aesthetic concerns. By maximizing our production capabilities, sometimes even pushing production limits, and by minimizing design cost, we create sustainable, manufacturable, understandable, and usable products. We add aesthetic value to our users' bathrooms and kitchens, making their lives easier.
Today, everything is based on visual appeal, consumers are always unhappy, and we consume everything too quickly. We live in small spaces, shop more, and live solitary lives, leading individual lives. But we want everything we buy to be personalized. It's up to us, designers, to prioritize individuality in shared spaces and include the user. Of course, it doesn't end there. We're also experiencing the ecological turmoil of this social dimension, and we must—and are obligated to—adapt this responsibility to our products. We believe we can make a difference with energy-efficient products, especially in an era where energy resources are rapidly depleting and oil is predicted to run out within 30 to 40 years.
In addition to the energy-efficient products we design with environmental awareness, we also prioritize making products that won't threaten your health because we value people. Both by using lead-free materials and in our design, we eliminate all factors that could negatively impact your health. We aim to discourage the use of hot water; We offer designs that prevent potential scalding accidents, especially among the elderly and disabled, from hot water. A study conducted in the United States reveals that 80% of accidents at home occur in the bathroom, and 80% of accidents in the bathroom are burns and scalds caused by hot water. We use this information as design input when developing a product.
We have a strong team behind us. Everything is made possible through effort...
As "Valfsel Design Team (VDT)," we are a team of seventeen, including Turkish designers, Turkish engineers, and technical staff. Our design process begins with research, examining competitor products, and we design user-focused products that address global trends. We observe problems consumers face in their own world. We don't settle for existing forms and technology; we research, develop, design, and produce. We strive to envision the future 50 years from now and make a reality by making stylistic and functional changes to the product we call luminaires today.
By bringing together Turkish designers and engineers with a design mindset, E.C.A. has created and will continue to create products that break new ground in technological and stylistic terms. We, E.C.A. As a company, we are aware of our responsibilities and continue to implement everything from the raw materials we use to the parts inside the products that you cannot see or even imagine, without compromising on our quality in line with the values we believe in.
