Design in Turkey exists in between the intense emotional intuition of the east and the clear logic of the west; both through the way we live, and through the geography we live in. The relatively short history of Turkish design exists within the short history of the Republic of Turkey. But taking a wider perspective, we live on a land where many civilizations have intersected and developed. Today design in Turkey, comprising of the influence of many ethnic groups which we in Turkey regard as our cultural mosaic, aims to transform this heritage into new products and designs. Turkish designers have been connecting with the global industries more and more everyday and our own industrial sector has been concentrating on design more. We believe, in the near future, Turkish designers will have a broader influence on the world design platform.
