With a generous sprinkling of Ottoman and Byzantine motifs, the collection includes porcelain espresso cups by Kunter Sekercioglu ($98), whose wavy saucer channels the movement of the whirling dervishes, and a modern take by Koray Ozgen in steel and nylon on traditional long-handled tea trays ($85).<\/p>\n<p>Aylin Kutnay, the director of the IKSV Design shop, said her store has been selling MoMA-branded items for two years and that this about-face is \u201ca great opportunity for introducing Turkish design to the world.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Leyla Taranto, who crafts jewelry, like adorable flower-vase brooches ($45) in coated metal and different shades of green, said she hopes the project \u201cwill stimulate curiosity about other aspects of Turkish design and hence other Turkish designers.
