O U R S T O R Y

‘Born and raised in Germany with Turkish roots, I was mainly educated in Western society, culture and literature. Doing my own research and going back to my Turkish roots, I experienced a deep re-connection with my true self and also discovered a whole world of forgotten beauty not just in my self but in the greater world. For example Antique Oriental Rugs - they are not just colorful Interior Design pieces - they are silent works of art that carry so much history and soul. I truly believe that different worlds can be brought together by consciously connecting different cultures, for example combining practical Scandinavian Aesthetics with soulful Oriental Design’.
