What we do

From a single piece to a complete interior.

Most of our work is made for one client, one room, one project. Whether you need a sofa drawn to the centimetre or every loose piece of a villa or a yacht, the process is the same: we draw it, we make it, and we deliver it ourselves.

Bespoke design

Nothing starts from a catalogue page. Each piece is drawn for the room it will stand in — its dimensions, its leather or fabric, its wood and its finish. Existing models can be resized and re-specified; new ones are designed from scratch.

Special projects

Residences, offices, hotels, superyachts and airports. We work from the architect's drawings, send real material samples, and produce to the project's technical specifications and schedule.

Turnkey delivery

One team from the first drawing to the handover: production, crating, shipping and installation on site, in Türkiye and abroad. You deal with one workshop, not a chain of suppliers.

Yacht interiors

Furniture for life at sea.

On board, every piece is built to the shipyard's specifications and fitted to the lines of the yacht. We produce the loose furniture — sofas, armchairs, dining and bar seating, cabin pieces — and work alongside the interior designers from the drawing stage.

Beyond residences

Airports, hotels and public buildings.

Working with international contractors, we have furnished projects far larger than a single home — delivered to the contractor's drawings, quantities and timeline.

Airports

Two airports in Africa, furnished for international contractors — produced in Istanbul and shipped as one delivery.

Hotels and venues

Guest rooms, restaurants, lounges and congress spaces for hotel and public projects in Africa and Europe.

Offices and headquarters

Reception areas, executive offices and meeting rooms — from Istanbul to Denizli.

Our workshop

Every stage under one roof.

Patterns, foam, cutting, sewing and upholstery all happen in our workshop in Büyükçekmece, Istanbul. Nothing is subcontracted, so the quality is ours to answer for.

Patterns

Every model keeps its own set of card patterns, so a piece ordered today matches the one made years ago.

Foam

Seat and back foams are cut by hand and shaped to each frame.

Sewing

Seams, piping and edges are stitched on industrial machines by the same hands that check them.

Upholstery

Leather is stretched, tufted and fixed by hand — the step that decides how a sofa looks in ten years.

Materials

Leather, and only leather.

We have never used imitation leather. Our collection runs to twelve leather families and seventy-six tones, each shown from a photograph of a real sample, so the colour you choose is the colour you receive.
