About Meltem Eti Proto : I am a designer and educator. This combination helps each other, profession and research makes you always fresh with new ideas. I use different materials to realize my ideas. Recently I have been working on bio-materials. The process I carried out to transform and reuse the collected bio-waste materials showed that each had different properties. Variable properties appear depending on the material structure, the grinding size of the material, and the character of the adhesive.

It is possible to use bio-waste materials artisanally in many forms. Among the designs, I have produced after my experiences there are small-scale objects such as tiles, and wearable forms, and medium-sized objects such as containers, vases, and lamps.
The creative process with these materials is artisanal production and all these forms can go back into circular economy. This study is a prelude to the use of biomaterials in design.
STATEMENT OF ART:
Design and art must be connected. The design should have a message.
