+37 Studio for Design
+37 Studio for Design, is a design consultancy following a user-centered approach; which means we solve problems with the tool of design. We are about defining the demand and designing for the real need. For us; users are the real experts, and the design process should start and continue with them. As designers our role is to translate users’ desires into actionable insights and to act on them.
At WantedDesign we are proud to present our first case study: Un-scene from Turkey.
The study starts with the idea of looking for everyday life insights in Turkish rural areas, and turning them into questions for designing opportunities and innovation. As +37 Studio for Design, we traveled to designated rural regions of Turkey, where we held ethnographic design research to understand how people in different demographics, find different solutions to the similar problems. The study is separated into three main design projects; each attacking a major problem that we observed during our field trip, and now we are offering a solution to these problems with the tool of design.
