A few years back, modern turkish designers became an all-too-exciting world-wide force to be reckoned with. There was Derin at ICFF, Autoban making headlines in the world of architecture, interior and product design and Inci Mutlu in Milan to name a few. With all of this excitement and new school education of what exactly Turkey is all about, I think it has become very easy to overlook or simply forget how stunning the many traditional Ottoman and Anatolian-inspired designs really are. Some of my very favorites come from the boutique division of Paşabahçe - or Mağaza Bütik which boasts limited edition pieces showcasing what they describe as "the cultural heritage of the future". Collections include: Osmanli Koleksiyonu, which focuses on contemporary interpretations of Ottoman art dating back some 700 years: Camda Sanatli or Art on Glass and Mozaik Koleksiyonu, a collection using the mosaic technique dating from 2600 B.C using Anatolian works of art as inspiration.
What once was old is new again.
