Çekirdek
A addictive snack which bonds friends and family together.
These are sunflower seeds, and it seems like every Turk is born with the ability to masterfully open them with their teeth, eat the tasty bit inside, and discard the shell, all of which is done in seconds. During summer, locals love their evening strolls with friends and family and often have a bag of “Çekirdek” to munch on while they watch the world go by. Try eating sunflower seeds the Turkish way, but it might take you a while to master the skill. It is connected the family and friendship bonds. If you want to spend time with your friends you drink some black tea and eat some salt roasted sunflower seed for hours. It is funny and good quality time. When you’re eating you can't even track the time. Sometimes you watch the street in the window maybe little bit gossip with your neighbour. Çekirdek gives a very warm and special moment and filings there are no similar fell in the earth.
Donna
“Behind every great man, there has to be a great woman.”
But great women doesn’t need a man. The Woman can be successful by herself. She doesn’t need strong man. She can fight by herself. She doesn’t need money maker. She can earn by herself. She can make her chance by herself. She can choose her life by herself.
Who is Versace Donna?
She is a goodness from ancient times. She is mother, she is daughter, she is boss, she is fighter, she is successful, she is strong, she is emotional and she is… She is just a Donna by herself.
The woman also creates her own chances. She is play with cards. Not just for fortune telling. She plays to win. She is not just lucky she is the luck by herself. She knows herself. And she also knows to meaning of the decks.

Art Nouveau Blossom
Art Nouveau? a fantastic jungle, curvy branches intertwined, the flowers that fascinate the beauty of the human, the semi-fairy half-women, the colourful winged insects. This art movement, centred on the figures standing as if they were telling a dream, was born as a reaction to industrialization.
The same is now in its modern life as a reaction to becoming abstracted from nature. The flowers that admire their beauty are like the same women.
Anatolia
The hidden treasure of Anatolia
For centuries, the Anatolian women have weaved their lives, their tastes, their life stories in these valuable rugs. These rugs kept their treasure inside with all had a different meaning and story. Carpet and rug weaving extends to the history of humanity. But do you know where the colours and motifs come from? They don’t say carpet, they all have a story. You can see the feelings of birth, death, and joy in the motifs and colours of the carpets. Just like in a painting. The Anatolian woman reflected her emotions on the carpets, colours, and patterns she touched.
Layers
Teatro Regio Torino
Teatro Regio facade is made from brick with a unique brickwork pattern using custom cut bricks to create a relief of stars which seems to overlap its self continuously like the scales of a fish. This is an illusion created by the uniquely designed masonry pattern as the wall is actually straight. The shadows created by the protruding parts enforce this illusion and the complex layer pattern reinforces this illusion.The same is now in its modern life as a reaction to becoming abstracted from nature. The flowers that admire their beauty are like the same women.
