Ekin Varon
RISD ‘10 [Furniture Design]
Ekin Varon was born in Istanbul in 1986. Growing up in such a historical and diverse city allowed Ekin to experience extraordinary culture and history. Her artistic inclinations and personal aesthetics developed while attending the Italian High School in Istanbul. Ekin's parents, both with an eye for design, encouraged her to produce art and supported her artistic development. While attending the Rhode Island School of Design, pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Furniture Design, she focused on the principals and practice of three dimensional design with emphasis on human interactions and experience. She uses design as a way to translate emotions into objects and to tell stories. Ekin believes that an emotional connection with an object will decrease the boundaries between the user and the designer.
