| About Begum Karadag : Begum Karadag, the founder of Buruz, is an interior designer. The city where her father was born is home to a geographically indicated hand-woven art in Turkey. However, this unique weaving art was on the verge of extinction. Aiming to revive this art that had been forgotten in the depths of chests, Begüm Karadağ founded the brand Buruz, which means "to bring to light" in Old Turkish. Buruz Design brings a centuries-old art to the forefront while using sustainable materials. The wool yarns used in its products are dyed entirely with plants such as acorns and walnuts. The looms are made of oak and are not electric. While production is entirely traditional, the designs are created with modern homes in mind.
Beyond preserving the craft, Buruz empowers local women.Begum Karadag, saw graduates from vocational weaving courses struggling to find jobs. By employing these women in her workshop, Buruz provides financial independence and social security for those who previously had none job.
 For me, design begins with a need. Art is also carries a soul. When design meets art, the result is unique. Every product I design is functional, but it also carries a story and a soul.
