About Belkis Ertürk
Even at high school, artist Belkis Ertürk was fascinated by handicrafts, particularly knitting. After honing her skills in artificial flower design, bead work, fabric and glass painting, she became a fashion stylist.

After graduating in Interior Design, she was commissioned to create colourful designs for metal-framed chairs for the launch of Waka Restaurant. These chairs proved so popular that she created a range of chairs and coffee tables, and continues to seek out and develop new designs.
