Abstract

This article reviews the activities of the earliest industrial design society of Turkey established by a group of architects and designers in 1978 under the aegis of a private Turkish firm that is still pioneering in similar design activities today. The paper, starting with a very brief introduction on the relationship between industry and design initiatives in the 1970s, discusses on the formation of the Endüstri Tasarımı Derneği (ETD) and its role on the institutionalization of product design in Turkey. The research background of this paper includes semi-structured interviews, interpretation of archival data and secondary information reached through memoirs and histories of institutions.
