Beste Ogan strives to create timeless objects that are a pleasure to use everyday. Beste believes in creating objects that are beautifully simple and modest as well as pleasing. Her inspiration mostly comes from natural materials and objects. She cherishes the beauty of their organic forms, their honesty and unpretentious simplicity, and the tactility of their patina as they age. Beste always seeks to capture that tactility and sensuality in her work that invites a person to touch and caress. Watching people engage with her work and their reaction as they touch it for the first time is Beste’s biggest reward.
