Özlem Tuna

A leader in Turkey's contemporary-design movement, Özlem Tuna produces super-stylish homewares and jewellery and sells them from her retail space near the Tophane tram stop. Her pieces use forms and colours that reference İstanbul's history and culture (tulips, seagulls, Byzantine mosaics, nazar boncuk 'evil eye' charms) and include hamam bowls, coffee and tea sets, coasters, rings, earrings, cufflinks and necklaces.
