Nurturing and advancing Istanbul\u2019s design culture for over three decades, Mozaik welcomed one of contemporary design\u2019s most influential figures, Jay Osgerby<\/strong>, to its Ortak\u00f6y showroom on 18 November.<\/h3>\n

For thirty years, Mozaik has been bringing leading names in international design such as Patricia Urquiola, Piero Lissoni, Marcel Wanders and Guido Cappellini to Istanbul, not only representing modern design culture but actively contributing to its growth. With its \u201cDesign Dialogues<\/em>\u201d series, Mozaik continues to strengthen its role as a cultural pioneer in the sector.<\/p>\n

On the evening of 18 November, Mozaik hosted Jay Osgerby<\/strong>, architect, designer and co-founder of Barber Osgerby Studio<\/strong>. In a conversation moderated by Damla K\u00fcrkl\u00fc<\/strong>, Osgerby shared the core principles behind his design practice, the research-driven processes that shape his work, and how his long-standing collaboration with Vitra has evolved over the years. He emphasized that Vitra\u2019s sustainability approach is not merely a technical requirement, but an integral part of how design forms a relationship with time. According to Osgerby, longevity, emotional connection and the ability to withstand the passing of time are fundamental elements of true sustainability. His reflections on the cultural contrasts between Istanbul and London, and how each city nourishes creative energy in different ways, stood out as some of the evening\u2019s most memorable insights.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1996 by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby following their studies at the Royal College of Art, Barber Osgerby Studio<\/strong> is renowned for its interdisciplinary approach spanning architecture, interior design, product design, sculpture and large-scale installations. The studio has created some of the most significant designs of the past decades, including the Tip Ton chair<\/strong>, Mariposa sofa<\/strong>, Soft Work seating system<\/strong> and Mikado chair<\/strong> for Vitra; the Tobi-Ishi table<\/strong>and award-winning Tortello sofa<\/strong> for B&B Italia; the Tamburound<\/strong> chair for Cassina; and the iconic Bellhop<\/strong> lighting family for Flos. Among the studio\u2019s most notable works is the London 2012 Olympic Torch<\/strong>, celebrated for its technical innovation and symbolic clarity.<\/p>\n

Today, Barber Osgerby\u2019s designs are held in the permanent collections of major institutions including the V&A<\/strong> and Design Museum<\/strong> in London, the Metropolitan Museum of Art<\/strong> and Art Institute of Chicago<\/strong>, the Olympic Museum<\/strong> in Switzerland, the Vitra Design Museum<\/strong> in Germany, and the Centre Pompidou<\/strong> in Paris.[\/vc_column_text]\t\t
