Her works can be found everywhere, most recently in the collections of such elite luxury brands as Driade, B&B Italia, MDF, Moroso, Kartell, Knoll and others at this year’s furniture exhibition in Milan (I Saloni Milano), which prompted newspapers headlines proclaiming her as the new star of the design world. Her designs reflect paradoxical combinations of strictness and anarchy, conformity and individualism, which she develops in her studio in Milan.>>>   Gaye Cevikel, Gaia and Gino The founder of the first Turkish company who's national and cultural identity is instantly recognisable in its products. They have cooperated with Karim Rashid, whose modular collection Morphscape brought them incredible publicity.

Her works can be found in the collections of modern art museums worldwide.>>> www.matalicrasset.com   FRAME, Robert Thiemann, urednik An international magazine, started in 1997, dedicated to interior design, which combines a British journalistic style with an Italian aesthetic savoir faire to create a unique Dutch product.

Regardless the chosen medium - ceramics, textiles or furniture - her designs show clear lines of development, emphasizing imperfection and unusual combinations of material and technique. Before starting her own company, JongeriusLab, in Rotterdam in 2000, she worked with Droog Design, famous for its radical concepts. She designs both unique and serial products for famous firms such as Vitra, Maharam, Rozental and Nimfenburg.>>> www.jongeriuslab.com   Renny Ramakers, Droog Design A design conglomerate founded in Amsterdam in 1993, Droog Design employs some 200 designers to create a brand as well known for its style as its practicality.
