Orçum Erdem is a multidisciplinary Turkish designer and glass artist living in Helsinki. He studied at Aalto University School of Art Design and Architecture and completed his MA degree in Contemporary Design (2019). Erdem focuses on artistic colour & material research throughout his glass art career and has specialised in hot glass forming techniques for creative processes. Today, he works on multi-sensorial material & digital experiences and continues his journey as an independent artist, designer, and entrepreneur.
In glassworks, Erdem recognises the medium as an instrument for thinking and takes the artistic process as an interplay of form, colour, and texture in exploring the expressive possibilities of glass. He enjoys to design his artworks as individual elements of large multi-sensorial installations and thematic collections.
