Design Alaturca was collaborative exhibition with MediaCat magazine.

The concept was to redesign concepts / products / ideas with

an Alaturca approach to it.

Batsın Bu Dünya ice tray was designed for the Rakı table. Rakı was an alcoholic drink which you consume with ice that would bring people around sorrow as more than it did around joy. And Batsın Bu Dünya means ‘To the hell with this world‘ but ‘Batsın‘ itself alone means sinking so redesigning an ice tray with that typography which would sank eventually in rakı was a funny reinterpretation.

Bayandan Satılık literally means ‘For Sale From Woman‘. It is a saying in Turkish that would refer to a car being sold as second hand is in very good condition and it is very clean. And the old traditions of keeping things clean would show itself in Turkish women’s houses to cover them with hand-made lace work on them; on TV, on coffee tables, on telephone, anything you want. We wanted to combine these two Alaturca behavior in one and designed in real life on a car.
