Ali Bakova

Istanbul-based designer Ali Bakova's studio is located in the industrial neighborhood of Maslak. It is an unusual area where creative industries and car repair shops coexist. In 2015, Ali Bakova took part in the Atölye Maslak “maker culture” organization, where small-scale artworks and design objects are produced in this space with 3D printing technology. He is also a pioneer in design education in Istanbul. Ali Bakova has also created some delightful works such as a cat figure made from Iznik tiles or a wooden chair inspired by the Galata Bridge. For the Nude collection, he prefers to create simple designs with a functional aspect.
