English: Azmi and Bediz Koz founded Butik A in 1958 in Ankara. At the time, furniture design in Ankara was inspired by Scandinavian and especially Danish furniture. Adopting a similar approach, the Koz family began by copying products, they then went on to interpret these forms and created their own characteristic style. The company worked on several interiors and furniture pieces for members of the high society of Ankara, including the artist Ulvi Cemal Erkin. In the 1960s they founded MPD, which is still active today under the direction of Bediz Koz and is considered a milestone in the history of furniture design in Turkey.
Items of furniture by Butik A from the house of Ulvi Cemal Erkin were displayed in “Modern Essays 4: SALON” at SALT Galata, 2012. http://saltonline.org/en/277/

İstanbul Devlet Güzel Sanatlar Akademisi İç Mimarlık Bölümü mezunları Azmi ve Bediz Koz 1958’de Ankara’da Butik A’yı kurdu. Dönem Ankara’sındaki mobilya tasarımı anlayışı, İskandinav, özellikle de Danimarka ahşap mobilyasına yakınlık gösteriyordu. Benzer bir yaklaşımı benimseyen Koz ailesi, işe kopyalar yaparak başladı ve zamanla kendi özgün tasarımlarını oluşturdu. Butik A, besteci Ulvi Cemal Erkin başta olmak üzere, Ankara’da yaşayan sanatçı ve bürokratlar için iç mekân tasarımları yaptı ve mobilyalar üretti. Mobilyalarını zaman zaman Galeri Milar’da sergileyen Azmi ve Bediz Koz 1960’larda MPD’yi kurarak tasarım ve üretimlerini bu marka altında sürdürdü. Türkiye’de modern mobilya üretiminin temel taşlarından biri olan MPD, Bediz Koz önderliğinde hâlen tasarım ve üretim yapmayı sürdürmektedir.
