Ahu Studio

A solitary presence,
holding its ground within within 19th-century hôtel particulier at Parc Monceau, Paris. — Umay Side Table

Surface as memory.

Across Cem and Aşk, the fluid language of ebru painting finds new expression in embroidery—where movement lingers and surfaces retain the trace of the hand.

An object of ritual.
A gesture of care.

Presented in Paris for the first time, Nahıl: Redefining Objects, Space and Rituals introduces a limited-edition collection that unfolds at the intersection of ritual, material culture, and collectible design.

Rooted in centuries of Turkish craftsmanship, the works translate inherited techniques into sculptural objects conceived for present-day interiors.

Here, the works shift from ceremonial evocations to inhabitable presences — objects that bridge past and present, tradition and everyday life.

We thank everyone who joined us in Paris.

Nahıl — Redefining Objects, Space and Rituals

On view at , Monceau.
10 April – 26 June 2026

First unveiled in Istanbul within the vaulted chambers of the Küçük Mustafa Paşa Hammam, the collection is recontextualized in Paris within the luminous domestic scale of a 19th-century hôtel particulier. Here, the works shift from ceremonial evocations to inhabitable presences — objects that bridge past and present, tradition and everyday life.

Safi Cleansing Cabinet

Soap, towels, and water vessels
– the tools of renewal

In Ottoman life,
the pitcher and the hammam
marked this ritual of washing.
Cleansing is never only physical:
to wash is to prepare,
to release, to begin again
An everyday act,
lived as a quiet ceremony.

Umay Coffee Table

The marbles are joined so
seamlessly that they seem
painted rather than assembled.
A work that turns one of the
hardest materials into
something that feels fluid.

The two tables nest together
or stand apart,
shifting between sculpture
and function.
