"In addition to the inseparability of aesthetics and functionality, Kunter values cultural habits, craftsmanship, history and the details of daily life as the triggering factors for his designs. He believes that quality in design is defined by distinction, innovation, enjoyment, practicality and affordability. In order to achieve this, he chooses to participate actively in every stage of the process, from the initial sketches to the production launch. Turkish Design exists where the liberal / logical west merges with the conservative / emotional east, feeding on the dualities of this topography. This nourishing environment supports the development of Turkish design. With Ilk in Milan, we will be capturing a photograph of the present situation of this evolution. "
