This paper examines the artifact of lace in
three different contexts in Turkish culture: It is the product of a craftsman
ship tradition; it is the object of lace making activity; it is the signifier of the home concept. The
aim of the study is to approach to this
artifact with a culturally rich
background, from different perspectives and provide an insight to understand the daily social life.
Focusing on the ’meaning’ of products
and artifacts, it is studied how a
product of material culture can transport different meanings and be constantly transformed within
the interpretation of its makers/designers and users/non-users.
