Our Founder and Design Director has been selected as an Official Judge for the CES Innovation Awards 2026.

We are pleased to announce that Mert Sezer, Founder and Design Director of Formeta Design, has been officially selected as a Judge for the CES Innovation Awards 2026, organized by the Consumer Technology Association (CTA) in Las Vegas.

CES is recognized as the most influential stage for technology and innovation. Every year, leading companies, emerging startups and global brands such as Samsung, Google, Sony, Hyundai, Nvidia and Ikea introduce new products, concepts and future-focused solutions. The event welcomes more than 130,000 industry professionals and plays a key role in defining global innovation trends.

Being invited to join the jury of the CES Innovation Awards is a significant milestone. It is not a position that can be applied for. Jury members are selected by the Consumer Technology Association based on their expertise, professional impact and contribution to advancing their field.

As part of the jury, Mert Sezer took part in evaluating submissions in categories such as smart transportation, consumer products and emerging technologies. The role involves assessing innovation potential, design value, user benefit and market impact.

For Formeta Design, this milestone represents more than personal recognition. It reflects the studio’s ongoing commitment to delivering high-quality design work with international relevance. Our team focuses on creating solutions that align design, engineering and user expectations, ensuring that concepts can be manufactured, scaled and integrated into real product ecosystems.

This achievement reinforces our long-term vision of growing into a globally recognized design company, operating from Istanbul and collaborating with international partners in multiple industries.

We are honored to represent our studio at CES 2026 and to contribute to the evaluation of groundbreaking innovations that will shape the future of design and technology.

Nation by Design: Insights from Singapore Design Week

How Singapore builds identity and progress through design

This September, Singapore hosted the vibrant Singapore Design Week 2025 from 11 to 21 September, marking 60 years of nationhood with the theme “Nation by Design”. Across four dynamic design districts—Bras Basah-Bugis, Marina, Orchard and the newly added Singapore Science Park—this city-wide celebration showcased how design has been central to Singapore’s transformation into a liveable, innovative and loveable nation. Our team at Formeta Design was thrilled to experience firsthand this immersive exploration of creativity, culture and future-thinking design.

Building on that energy, we had the privilege to attend the inaugural World Design Business Forum, invited by the Design Business Chamber Singapore, the DesignSingapore Council and the iSee Taiwan Foundation. The forum gathered global leaders and thought-provokers to explore how design and business are converging in new ways, offering deep insight and rich inspiration. At Formeta Design we found the conversations truly energising, reinforcing our commitment to design-led innovation on an international scale.

Our participation in these landmark events has provided a refreshed perspective for Formeta Design. Engaging with Singapore’s design ecosystem, meeting local and global practitioners, and witnessing how a city positions design as a key strategic asset has enriched our vision. We are excited to channel this experience into our work—continuing to serve our B2B clients with a globally-aware, design-forward approach and strengthening our ambition to operate at the forefront of service and product innovation.
