More About Studio Kali by Fulden Topaloglu

Question IconWhat inspires you?

The cultural and geographical heritage of Turkey has a huge place in my designs. Especially in Studio Kali’s product collection my country's cultural heritage, craft traditions and natural geography are my key sources of inspiration.

Question IconDescribe your creative process.

Designing is a search for balance and the way you balance different aspects changes from project to project, based on objectives, function, the brand, etc. Yet I can say that the most common aspect that I focus in all my designs is achieving a functional simplicity that is timeless and that forms an emotional bond with the user.

Question IconWhere do you go for inspiration?

Nature and art! I love experiencing nature and all forms of art, particularly photography, sculpture and painting. For me experiencing nature and art is the entryway to inspiration.
