Could you describe the roles you have undertaken within Seba İnşaat and Seal Investment, and how you shape the vision of these brands? As a Board Member of Seba İnşaat, I carry the responsibility of being a third-generation representative with great pride. For me, it is not merely about continuing a strong legacy spanning over 30 years; it is about carrying that legacy into the future by reinterpreting it through the lens of my own generation and constantly building upon it.

When you reflect on your relationship with art, is the driving force behind your creative work more a desire to convey an idea, or a wish to alter the way the world is perceived? What drives me to create isn't so much a direct desire to articulate a specific idea, but rather the impression something leaves on me. That impression might stem from an image, a story, or an emotion. I find myself dwelling on it and attempting to express it in some way. I find it fascinating how so

What does being “timeless” mean to you at Lucea Jewelry? What is it that allows a piece to transcend trends and become an expression of personal style? For us, being “timeless” means maintaining one’s own character rather than chasing trends. What makes a piece timeless is its ability to adapt to different styles over the years and become an integral part of the wearer's own look. That is precisely our goal at Lucea: to create pieces where style endures even as fashion trends

The word “Luftmensch” evokes daydreaming and a belief in the possibility of things that do not yet exist. What did this name mean to you when you chose it? “Luftmensch” described a side of myself I knew very well. I was constantly constructing dreams, stories, and worlds of my own—and the possibilities within them—in my mind. Yet, for me, daydreaming was never just about remaining in a mental space; what truly interested me was the ability to bring something formless into exi

Is travel merely about seeing new places for you, or is it a way to rediscover the world and yourself? How has your way of traveling changed over the years? Travel cannot be separated from one’s identity. For me, travel has never been just about seeing new places. While getting to know cultures, people, and lives across nearly a hundred countries and hundreds of cities, I have also rediscovered myself. After all, travel is a reflection of how one views the world and oneself;

Éthera's starting point is the idea of ​​moving beyond making jewelry merely an aesthetic object and associating it with emotion and experience. For you, what makes a piece of jewelry "beautiful," and beyond that, what gives it meaning and character? Éthera is a brand built on the energy of stones. We design jewelry based on the energy the stone carries, the emotions it evokes in the wearer, and the connection it creates. Each stone, with its unique energy, evokes a different

Urla has become very popular in terms of gastronomy in recent years. What do you think is the most important reason for this change? Urla's greatest advantage is that it hasn't completely severed its connection with its land. On one side, there are producers, olive groves, vineyards, artichokes, and fisheries; on the other, there are people who come here seeking a different life. When these two meet, gastronomy naturally grows. But there's also a danger. As a place becomes mo

While the name Marquisate nods to royalty, there’s an unmistakably irreverent street vibe in your work. How does this tension between nobility and rebellion play out on your design board? We love the paradox between aristocracy and rebellion in Marquisate. If aristocracy is the memory of craftsmanship and form inherited from the past, rebellion is the courage to reinterpret that memory rather than accepting it as is. We love creating precisely at the intersection of these two

Why are health trends growing as the world gets worse? As crises in the world grow, the scope for intervention shrinks, leaving only one piece of land we can control: our own bodies. All the health trends of the last decade have emerged from this shrinking space. Norman Fucking Rockwell! was released on August 30, 2019, exactly six months before the pandemic. The cover shows a boat, an outstretched hand, and a burning shore in the background. If this is what we call apocalyps

You're presenting works that have lifted television out of that fast-paced consumer era and left their mark on digital platforms. What kind of character do you dream of playing, the one that you think would truly transform you in your career? Specifically, the character I'd like to portray is definitely one that will make me think a lot, one that is psychologically multifaceted and challenging. I would love to bring to life a character that could reveal all the emotions I hav

The highest point of summer, but also its gentlest breeze. August, that eerie yet enchanting threshold where time flows a little slower, and the shadows of the evening lengthen.

A Journey from the World to Paris, the Center of Art The age of technology and social media has brought new perspectives to the art world, both perceptually and formally. Today, when we visit an art gallery in Europe, we encounter classical works that keep our historical memory alive, while also discovering the diverse forms of expression offered by contemporary productions. While some artists continue to follow in the footsteps of traditional masters, a significant number co

The "clean girl" aesthetic, once a prominent part of our lives through both content and applications, is now losing its throne. But if an aesthetic trend loses its throne, wouldn't another try to take its place? Actually, when we sit down and think about it, we realize that although social media imposes a certain perception on people, in the end, we can't feel like we belong to all those forms we try to conform to. This feeling of not belonging leads to a rejection of what is

What is the first thing a House of Silk woman/man feels when they wake up in the morning? A feeling of having a day of their own. For me, the best part of the morning is that when you open your eyes, the first thing that comes to mind isn't a 'to-do list,' but your own comfort. That little privilege actually sets the tone for the rest of the day. What detail seals the sense of 'effortless elegance' in your designs? That elegance doesn't come from a single detail or fabric; it

You proudly carry the phrase "a Fethiye brand." How did the story of Chez La Vie Eatery begin in Fethiye? What drove you to this city and to bring this concept to life? We came to Fethiye in 2017 with a classic Istanbul escape to a small town story. Shortly after settling here, the pandemic began. Our children were newly born, and we really needed to establish a business that would meet basic consumer needs. That's how we found our first shop in Karagözler; one day, while pas

The City's New Summer Destination Istanbul redefines summer every season. This time, one of the addresses that sets the rhythm of the city is Dandy. Bringing together gastronomy, music, and social life in the same atmosphere, the venue goes beyond a classic restaurant experience, transforming into a modern city gathering that extends from sunset to late into the night. Embracing an understanding of effortless luxury, Dandy, with its unpretentious yet characterful style, takes

How did the name "Pant Along" come about? How does this name reflect the spirit of the brand? The idea for Pant Along emerged in 2019 while filming the TV series "Sefirin Kızı" (The Ambassador's Daughter) in Bodrum. I always wanted to combine it with my own industry; I had a desire to find a business idea that would allow me to effectively use creativity and visual arts, and do it with passion. I was considering leaving this field, but I evaluated my possibilities and started

Mini Taverna, located right behind Cozy, seems at first glance like a continuation of the same story. From the very beginning, how did you envision differentiating these two brands? Before starting the Cozy project, my dream was to create two separate concepts offering distinct and unique experiences within a single villa. Actually, I didn't want a sharp separation; I wanted to showcase a different character and style of the same identity. The word "Mini" at first glance seem

How do you adapt to today's modern gastronomic world and changing consumer habits while preserving a 35-year-old history? What is the biggest common link between the Italian gelato concept of the past and today's Lu Gelato? For us, Lu Gelato's connection to the past is not just a production method, but a perspective. In traditional Italian gelato culture, patience, good raw materials, and craftsmanship are very important. We preserve this understanding while adapting it to th
