Paleworks is a Berlin-based creative studio founded by Ozan Akkoyun and Yağmur Rüzgar, working in parallel as an object design practice and visual communication design service.

The studio emerged from the founders’ curiosity about each other’s differing creative backgrounds and the constant exchange this produced. As a result, Paleworks is rooted in an understanding of creativity as a unified discipline. This approach underpins their work across object design, creative direction & consultancy, visual identity, and photography, moving fluidly between the tangible and the digital.

As graduates and former lecturers at Bauhaus University, their perspective on object design is deeply informed by the movement’s principles. Each line is drawn with intent, letting form and aesthetics arise as a consequence of function. Rather than isolated pieces, Paleworks develops units and modular structures that establish a dialogue between object, display, and a sense of space. Since its founding in 2017, only three object collections have been released, prioritising depth and research over frequency—through editions, collaborations, and installations. In parallel, Paleworks constructs refined yet purposeful brands, working across cultural and commercial contexts in collaboration with forward-thinking individuals and institutions seeking more considered environments.

Their multidisciplinary work has been exhibited internationally, including the Bauhaus Museum, Maxim Gorki Theater, Milan Design Week, Berlin Art Week, Conceptual Biennale, Deutsches Design Museum, and the Venice Architecture Biennale.
