Biography

Rehrev design studio takes its name from Persian. The expression of the design studio which corresponds to passenger in Persian finds itself in the production process. Seeing the design process as a way; it aims to develop the products along the way and continue to produce while learning. Rehrev Studio’s products reinterpret the art of embroidery by feeding on Turkish art and craft culture by experimental approaches.

Rümeysa Memiş, who is founder of Rehrev, designs and produces periodic projects by looking at product design through embroidery practice. Memiş graduated from Industrial Design and Art History departments. And this interdisciplinary approach shapes her designs for Rehrev. Traditional embroidery techniques are preferably used on different materials like industrial wire mesh. By doing so, it is expected to combine industrial design with craftsmanship methods and create new ways for sustainable heritage. It is also a way of helping to local craftsmen who face such difficulties to grow their businesses.

With respect and love to all who is concerned with the production of value in design.
