Nose - Design Business Directory

Nose

The nose bookend Pop Art inspired sculptures offer a playfully artistic element to any library of books. These functional pieces not only serve to hold books in place between shelves or on tabletops but also infuse a sculptural elegance into the space doubling as a canvas for creative expression. The noses also represent dichotomous concepts, such as light versus dark or convex versus concave, inviting viewers into a contemplative dialogue about societal norms surrounding aesthetics and beauty.

Kazoo Design

For more than 20 years, Zeynep and Kostas have been working with computer generated imagery to create pre-viz for architecture, ads, short films and visual effects in documentaries and movies. All these years have led up to the formation of their brand Kazoo, which is solely based around their passion to create. Kazoo design studio is a place where curiosity has no boundaries, ideas and inspiration can come any moment. Kazoo objects are designed digitally, then a prototype is printed and post-processed and molds are made in order to finally hand-cast copies. Materials that are currently used for the final products are: Ceramics, Porcelain, Polyurethane Resin and Acrylic Resin. The future lies in combining technology with hand-crafting and therefore all the products that have been crafted are produced with sustainability in mind. Zeynep and Kostas mostly produce their products in their boutique atelier and only collaborate with boutique local makers who can provide them with the highest quality of manufacturing.

About DBD

Design Business Directory was founded on the principle that true design excellence cannot be measured by popularity alone. Instead, we believe that the most meaningful indicator of skill, creativity, and professionalism is official recognition by respected international juries who follow transparent, pre-established voting criteria. When a designer, architect, or creative agency enters a rigorous peer review process, one that evaluates submissions against clear quality benchmarks, ethical standards, and innovation requirements, it ensures that any accolades they receive are both credible and deserved and are meritocratic.

Peer-reviewed awards, such as the prestigious A’ Design Award, exist to showcase the very best in design and innovation. The A’ Design Award is judged by a balanced panel of experienced academics, influential press members, and established professionals, all of whom apply a thoroughly documented scoring system. Through this structured method of evaluation, only truly exceptional projects are recognized. This is precisely the level of excellence that Design Business Directory aims to highlight: forward-thinking professionals who have demonstrated mastery in their field according to objective, globally respected criteria.

Because we are committed to presenting only the cream of the crop in design, Design Business Directory accepts listings exclusively from those who have proven themselves in such distinguished competitions. By requiring at least one peer-reviewed award—namely, the A’ Design Award—as a prerequisite for inclusion, we maintain the authenticity and overall quality of the directory. Consequently, to be listed on Design Business Directory, you must have already won the A’ Design Award. This ensures every individual and studio showcased here operates at the highest tier of professional accomplishment, innovation, and credibility.
