    BOYNER X BASE: Gift boxes with the designs of BASE artists
    Boyner, the first address that springs to mind when one says gift, collaborated with BASE to implement a project that encourages art and young artists. Special gift boxes bearing the unique designs of three talented young artists of BASE have been offered for sale in Boyner stores and Boyner Online. The income generated from the sale of the boxes will be transferred to ‘SanatIST’ project of Toplum Gönüllüleri Vakfı - The Foundation of Community Volunteers (TOG) in order to promote university students’ attendance to artistic activities. Aiming to improve every instant of life, Boyner doubles the joy of receiving and giving presents with the iconic gift boxes offered for sale in its stores. The works created by the young artists of BASE upon being inspired by concepts such as “dream”, “hope”, “enthusiasm” and “sharing” are named as follows: “Day, Night and Our Friends” by Begüm Malkoçlar; “Enthusiastic Hands” by Cemre Beyza Yağız and “Blessing” by Onur Arno Yıldız. illustrator designer…
