Museum of Modern Art (MOMA)
"Destination Istanbul"
New York and Istanbul
2011
"Destination: Istanbul" took part as one of MoMA Design Store's popular "Destination: Design" series. The series showcases emerging designers and design themes from around the world and provides a context for a rich appreciation of the ideas, forms, and materials presented.
​
The MoMA Design Store presented more than 100 products by 41 prominent Turkish designers selected by MoMA New York. The collection also reached a worldwide audience via the online MoMA Store, and was also available exclusively at the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts (IKSV) Design Store in Istanbul, from May until the end of November 2011.

I was one of those lucky designers who happened to catch the eye of the curator and was selected to participate with my Abacus collection, Flowers in a Vase pins and Cameo pins, and also Dome candle holders, a joint project with Koray Özgen, a Turkish industrial designer living in Paris.
