Besides its own team, Parla Design also collaborates with independent designers, producing entirely bespoke elements, fusing simplicity, influences from cultural heritage, and an artisanal approach.

We can push boundaries, experiment, and innovate to create the best solutions. We also always aim to blend the artisanal with cutting-edge technology,’ says Betül Inci, Head of Design at Parla.
