Autoban Catalogue
3 Internationally renowned, Istanbul-based, multidisciplinary design studio, Autoban creates statement furniture to further the story told through their architecture and interiors. Each product is informed by a uniquely space-centric approach, blending wit with sophistication, and minimal forms with rich materials. Autoban products at once challenge convention, celebrate form, enhance function and enrich experiences for all who encounter them. Luxury modern woodworker, De La Espada partners with Autoban. The design studio has complete creative control, while De La Espada crafts each product to the highest standard at their own production facility in Northern Portugal. 5 MOODBOARD Daily life in Istanbul is a rich source of inspiration for Autoban - the busy pace, the local craft, and the sharp contrasts: the old and new, and the influences of both east and west. Autoban view materials as paints on their palette, and find inspiration in everything from various metals and timbers to patterned tiles and luxurious textiles. 6 282 281 278 266 8 UNION BED MAZE TABLE POLY SIDE TABLE FLYING SPIDER 280CR UNION CORNER UNIT SOFA 223 PUMPKIN SIDE TABLE 241 SPIDER 9 282 UNION BED 281 MAZE TABLE 266 FLYING SPIDER 10 11 Maze Table, with its bold, graphic aesthetic, is a contemporary take on Kündekari, a traditional woodworking technique dating back to Anatolian Seljuk and Ottoman periods. Created using the intersection of two patterns, Maze looks deceptively simple, yet plays on a series of optical illusions. 281 MAZE TABLE 249 BUTTERFLY CHAIR 266 FLYING SPIDER 12 “In all our products there is a strong modernist shape and line.

The timber we use is from sustainable farms. The trees on the farms are pruned regularly to allow for consistent grain patterns and fewer knots, ensuring exceptionally strong planks of the highest quality. Our oil finishes embrace the inherent colour and grain variations in the timber, whilst providing a renewable surface for enduring beauty. Stains are sealed with a clear matte lacquer to maintain the colour whilst preserving the tactility of the surface. Our painted timber is wire brushed before the application of the paint to create a textured surface. 24 DANISH OILED AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT BROWN STAINED EUROPEAN ASH DANISH OILED AMERICAN WHITE OAK BLACK STAINED EUROPEAN ASH WHITE OILED AMERICAN WHITE OAK BROWN PAINTED RAL 8019 EUROPEAN ASH - BRUSHED DANISH OILED EUROPEAN ASH BLACK PAINTED RAL 8022 EUROPEAN ASH - BRUSHED WHITE OILED EUROPEAN ASH WHITE PAINTED RAL 9010 EUROPEAN ASH - BRUSHED 25 INSPIRING BOOKS Autoban designers, Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Cağlar, were taught in the style of the Bauhaus at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University, and continue to be inspired by the movement. They also have an affinity for Art Nouveau, the glamour of classic cinema, and the work of architects and designers including Louis Kahn, Ettore Sottsass, Le Corbusier and Mies Van Der Rohe. Surrounded by the rich diversity of Istanbul, Autoban’s designs often reflect the city’s culture, history, and daily life, in bold, graphic forms that are an homage to their modernist influences. 26 Josef Hoffmann: Interiors 1902-1913 Living Architecture Ai Weiwei: Spatial Matters 2 Kilo of Kessels Ron Mueck Le Corbusier Le Grand Modern Views Sottsass: 700 Drawings Ara Guler’s Istanbul: 40 Years of Photographs Bauhaus Aalto Louis Kahn: The Power of Architecture Kramer 27 PRODUCTS “We try to tell a story through the spaces we design and with the products we put in them.
