GUROL ERKAL
INDUSTRIAL DESIGNER

Hello, I’m Gürol, an industrial designer passionate about creating innovative solutions that enhance people’s lives. With over 18 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working across diverse industries, including automotive and building products.

During my university years, I collaborated with industry leaders like Arçelik and Demirdöküm, refining my design skills and laying the foundation for my career. At Serel Seramik, I had the opportunity to develop cutting-edge building products that blend functionality with aesthetic appeal.

My journey then led me to the automotive industry, where I specialized in interior and exterior bus design at BMC. This experience honed my ability to merge form and function seamlessly, ensuring both visual appeal and practicality in my designs.

In March 2011, I joined the VitrA Design Team, where I continue to create projects that prioritize functionality and visual impact. For me, design isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about simplifying everyday tasks, making them more enjoyable, and ultimately improving the quality of life.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring new design trends, traveling, and spending time in nature for inspiration. I’m always eager to collaborate on new projects and contribute my expertise to meaningful endeavors that push the boundaries of design innovation.

Let’s connect and explore how we can work together to bring your design visions to life!
