Waste plastic, the infamous star of pollution, is in fact the main ingredient for our designs. We do not like to see this beautiful material with an almost infinite life being used so carelessly. In single-use products, plastics lose their value and even worse they threaten the health of our planet. We explore the beauty within waste plastics through design experiments, giving plastics the life and purpose they deserve. As we create, more and more plastic is rescued from the landfills and sent to your lovely hands for a full and happy life.

Let’s talk about our history a little. We are three architects from very similar pasts. We completed our bachelors degree in Istanbul Bilgi University, then did our masters in Institute for Advanced Architecture of Catalonia (Iaac) in Barcelona.

We started a company called The Back Lab with two other friends from IaaC, The Back Lab was a company focusing on digital fabrication and computational design. Upon winning the first prize in an international competition called Destination Zero (held by the British Council) we decided to focus more on the plastic waste and founded Studio Blai in the fall of 2021. Now we work together with Döngüsel İşler Atölyesi (DIA) and the Horizon 2020 project by the European Union (Pop Machina). We are also a part of the Precious Plastic Community.
