Fulden Topaloglu Unveils Yakamoz Rug Collection, Merging Tradition and Modern Design

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Yakamoz Collection: Reinterpreting Anatolian Kilim Weaving

Fulden Topaloglu, an engineer turned designer, presents the Yakamoz Collection, a series of kilim rugs inspired by the mesmerizing play of moonlight on the Aegean Sea. The abstract patterns of the Yakamoz kilim series represent the alternating color transitions created by reflected light, bringing the beauty of bioluminescence to interior spaces.

Yakamoz is a contemporary expression at the intersection of design, craft, and art, reinterpreting centuries-old craft traditions of Anatolian kilim weaving with a modern, artisanal approach. Handwoven by skilled Anatolian weavers using 100% sheep wool and vegetable-based dyes, the collection brings the essence of the Aegean nature to interior spaces.

The kilim rugs in the Yakamoz Collection can be customized in dimensions and colors, offering warmth in cold days and keeping the space cool in warm days. The antibacterial properties of wool make the kilims anti-odor, providing a touch of nature to everyday life.

The project began in Spring 2018, with the first kilims produced in Autumn 2018. Since then, many kilims have been woven in different colors and sizes. The design stage is carried out in Istanbul, Turkey, and the weaving is carried out throughout Anatolian villages of the Aegean region. Yakamoz Collection received EDIDA - Elle Decoration International Design Awards in Turkey in 2020.

Fulden Topaloglu's deliberate choice to merge tradition and modern aesthetics in Studio Kali's product collection aims to support craftsmanship, cultural heritage, and local industry, while using design as a bridge between the traditions of the past and the modern aesthetics of the present.
