Since the late 19th century, Turkish ci******es became one of the most fashionable and commercially successful styles of smoking in Europe and America, largely because of the popularity of Ottoman to***co.

Brands like Murad, Sultan and many others were produced and marketed internationally in places like Istanbul, Cairo, London, and New York, using Turkish to***co not only as a product, but as a visual identity.

Their packages and advertisements were filled with veiled figures, crescent symbols, Ottoman references. Brands like Murad even collaborated with famous artists such as Rea Irvin, the founding visual artist of The New Yorker.

The visual language of Turkish cigarette design dates even earlier to Ottoman cigarette papers, which carried highly decorative designs with motifs deeply rooted in the visual culture of the Ottoman Empire.

Since the 1890s, Japanese matchbox labels began to evolve into something more than packaging.

Early designs focused on subjects like flowers, fruit, animals, and folklore, often executed with the precision of woodblock printing. Some were even privately commissioned, turning them into collectible prints rather than simple labels.

By the 1920s and 30s, new styles such as Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and Bauhaus entered through graphic design publications, merging with traditional forms into a distinct visual language.

Often given away for free by bars and restaurants, these labels followed the country’s visual shifts over time, as new influences entered and reshaped the way they were designed.

Since the 15th century, Iranian bowls and dishes reflect a rich exchange between local craftsmanship and global influence, where artisans infused imported styles with their own motifs and cultural identity.

Inspired by Chinese blue and white porcelain, Iranian makers adapted these elements into a distinct visual language. Dragons, lotus flowers, waves, and distant landscapes appear across their surfaces, reinterpreted through Iranian composition and scale.

Across centuries, their designs evolved into vibrant polychrome compositions, combining blues with greens, reds, and yellows, while maintaining a distinct decorative identity.
