Seda Uslu is a textile and jewelry designer who is proficient at designing products that are environmentally friendly and harmless to the human body and all other living beings.

 

Initially designing clothes for children, Seda turned to fabric design later in her career. She has had extensive experience as a surface and fabric designer. Disappointed at the prevalent human rights and environmental abuses associated with the production methods at textile factories, Seda left the textile industry. In addition to her conventional college education and training in design and fine arts, she mastered traditional handicraft techniques (filigree, pearl inlay and copper relief) working with seasoned jewelry artisans for four years in the world renowned Grand Bazaar of Istanbul.

 

Seda's technique focuses on primitive traditional crafts. She continuously aspires to bring together pioneering works that merge ancient production methods with art-design-craft concepts. Her craft draws largely from archeology and philosophy against the grandiose aim of transcending knowledge and labor through time and space.
