'Tasarım' is Turkish for 'design' and probably the most used word in Istanbul the coming days.

Starting tomorrow, Istanbul will again be the home base for design fans from all over the world, hosting it's one and only Istanbul Design Week 2007 from 4-10 September.

The success of last year (photo galleries) is followed up with new works of young talents and internationally renowned Turkish designers. The historical Old Galata Bridge will also be a platform for international design exhibitions and contributions by design stars such as Patricia Urquiola, Li Edelkoort, Konstantin Grcic, Tucker Viemeister, Defne Koz, Hussein Chalayan, and more (see full program here).

In other words, keep an eye on the blog and prepare yourselves for this year's design update from the heart of Istanbul.
