YONT Studio, a Berlin-based creative studio with Turkish roots, treats sound as a medium to shape atmosphere, memory, and spatial experiences. Operating across interiors, installations, objects, and visual storytelling, the studio draws inspiration from everyday rituals and cultural moments that define modern living.
This deep connection between sound and space comes alive in their recent collaboration with Telekom Electronic Beats, a cassette installation inviting visitors on an open-ended road trip. Guests can sink into salvaged car seats, load a cassette, and journey without a destination or a digital feed. Bringing together 140 cassettes, the installation turns the act of listening into a tactile and deeply personal encounter.

For the designboom listens series, YONT shares the musical influences shaping their creative world, ranging from queer pop anthems and nostalgic music videos to experimental electronic sounds. These tracks not only help the team overcome creative blocks but also demonstrate how sound becomes an integral part of a project's identity.
Integrating music into spatial design is a powerful approach that deepens users' emotional connection to an environment. Using analog mediums like cassette tapes in a digital era fosters a tangible, tactile experience that streaming platforms simply cannot replicate.
When asked about the track capturing their practice, YONT chose Sophie's Immaterial, describing it as queer, playful, and unfamiliar. To clear the air and kickstart a new project, they turn to FKA Twigs' Girl Feels Good.

"It feels like the beginning of a journey through a forest: you don’t know what’s ahead, but you’re ready to discover it."

Their ultimate 2 AM studio track is Robyn's Dancing on my own, while Avalon Emerson's One more fluorescent rush serves as the go-to remedy for creative blocks. To slow down and focus on subtle details, the team relies on Moby's Memory Gospel.
Furthermore, the record store project Torstrasse 220—where everything began for the studio—is best encapsulated by Joe Goddard's Truth is light, perfectly blending their passion for music, objects, materials, and spaces.
