Since its foundation, Çilek Furniture has considered offering original designs as an indispensable value in its company culture. Çilek Design Hub is the first company in the industry to be officially certified as a Design Center by the Ministry of Science, Industry and Technology.

As the “core” and “center” of design, the Çilek Headquarters hosts a design hub made up of industrial designers, architects, and graphic artists. From the very birth of a product to its meeting with customers in stores, all processes—product design, graphics, visual arrangements, and store design—are carried out in-house under one roof, with the aim of creating a unified design language.

With the motto of “creating dreams”, the design team delivers original creations that capture the imagination of children and young people while addressing their needs. These designs are ergonomic, innovative, fun, high-quality, safe, environmentally conscious, and bring new emotions and experiences into their lives.
