Fifil was born in İstanbul in May 2023 as "a life-style brand" where design, craftsmanship, and art come together in harmony.
Fifil is a story in pursuit of this beauty. Fi (phi, Fibonacci) references the mathematics of natural beauty, while the elephant represents intelligence, wisdom, abundance, and luck. The Fifil logo depicts an elephant emerging from phi geometry.
The Fifil brand revolves around two themes: Biophilic design and references to various cultures, fantastic scenes in its spaces, objects, and products. In addition to forms, patterns, textures, and materials aimed at reflecting the healing power of nature, there are accompanying elements such as references from ancient times, enchanted objects, fairy motives and patterns that explore the infinite possibilites of geometry.
Fifil, not only showcases products crafted with care by hand, but also opens the door to the beauties offered by technological possibilities. Regardless of material, be it glass, ceramic, marble, wood, metal, or paper, Fifil aims to explore and create objects within the narrative. Plants play a crucial role as the most significant supporters of all these objects and furnishings in the environment. Fifil ensures the incorporation of live plants and natural remnants into the created space, utilizing carefully crafted patterns inspired by nature in its products.
ÖZNUR ÇÖMLEK – Founder / Designer
I studied industrial engineering, but my heart was always drawn to design. In 2009, I completed my master’s degree in Industrial Product Design at Istanbul Technical University. Since then, I’ve spent many years working with some of Turkey’s most respected brands—designing everything from furniture and lighting to tabletop pieces and decorative objects. I’ve had the chance to bring projects of all shapes and sizes to life, and each one taught me something new.
But deep down, I always carried a dream: to build my own brand. That dream became reality with Fifil.
Today, I design collections in collaboration with talented local artists and craftspeople, and I personally oversee every part of the brand’s journey—from concept to creation. For me, design is more than just aesthetics; it’s a way of telling stories, connecting with people, and celebrating the beauty of nature, imagination, and craftsmanship.
Every piece we create carries a little bit of soul, a touch of magic, and a whole lot of care.
