Motif groups considered to be used in clothing and home equipment design within the scope of industrial products.</p><p>Traditional felt production techniques have been continued in the name of recognizing and keeping alive the Turkish Culture by examining the basic features of Anatolian Art, art and craft branches of the art of felting, which we will deal with in the project. By examining the basic features of traditional felting, a new collection has been prepared based on sustainable materials and techniques that have gained a place in Turkish culture. In the collection, which is gathered under two headings as home equipment and clothing, the main material is felt and textile products woven with natural fibers as auxiliary materials. CLO3D, Gerber and Adobe programs were used in the design phase of the collection. Clothing and home furnishing products designed with today's technology were produced with felt obtained by the traditional method of kick felting and textile products woven with natural fibers, and the Anatolian felting culture was used with today's technology. With this new collection, where Anatolian motifs and methods are reflected in today's designs, it is aimed to contribute to cultural, social, ecological and economic sustainability.</p>
