This study examines the ways in which the concept of ' / national design' / informs evaluation of products and their designers, through the example of the field of industrial design in Turkey and the recently influential design magazine Art+Decor. For this purpose, first of all, ' / evaluation' / is analyzed as a means in which meanings are imposed on products, and as a tool in struggles for positions and status within the field of industrial design. Then, the role
of ' / nationality' / in such a function of evaluation is investigated. Finally, a case study is provided, in which the employment of the concept of ' / Turkish design' / in evaluation of products and designers is analyzed within the texts published in Art+Decor magazine between 2003 and 2005.
