We presented our Bosphorus colourway Nazar Credenza with Boon Room at PAD Design Art Paris. Inspired by the centrepieces of our debut collection –the solid wood and lacquer Meyhane drinks cabinets– the Meyhane Credenza was designed for dining rooms and versatile functionality.

Each piece was crafted from a solid walnut structure, with doors and side panels hand-varnished in multiple layers of high-gloss lacquer. Metal detailing was custom-worked by expert blacksmiths in copper-plated brass, and an individual engraved metal plaque displayed the edition number of each piece.

We were honoured to be part of Homo Faber 2024 in Venice, participating in The Journey of Life, curated by the Michelangelo Foundation with art direction by Luca Guadagnino and Nicolò Rosmarini. As part of this extraordinary experience, we were also included in a specially curated show by Via Arno, celebrating exceptional contemporary craftsmanship and bringing together inspiring objects and talented artisans from around the world.

During Paris Design Week, Boon Room showcased a significant selection from our Modern Heirloom collection, highlighting the fusion of contemporary design and timeless craftsmanship that defines our work

Boon Room Paris included a selection from our Modern Heirloom collection in their presentation at PAD Design Art Paris. The gallery curated our pieces alongside other designers, highlighting a dialogue between contemporary design and timeless craftsmanship.

Ahu presented a wide selection from their Modern Heirloom collection, alongside other collectible objets and furniture, during a spring exhibition at Benoit de Gorski, Geneva. The show opened with a cocktail and vernissage on Thursday, 21 March 2024, and continued through 5 April 2024. The exhibition featured Ahu’s latest designs, showcasing their distinctive blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary collectible design.

During Alcova Milano 2023, Ahu exhibited a selection of their new objets, including the newly launched Tepsi series from the Modern Heirlooms collection. The objects, handcrafted in Istanbul by master artisans, combine sculptural elements with functional design and reflect the studio’s distinctive blend of traditional techniques and contemporary production.

The exhibition took place in the historic Porta Vittoria abattoir, where the tactile, celebratory objects engaged with the unique character of the space, offering visitors a direct experience of Ahu’s artistry and craftsmanship.

During Maison & Objet 2023, Ahu exhibited a selection of new objects from their Modern Heirlooms collection. The showcase included the newly launched Tepsi objects series, the Ka’Ve07 table, and the Meyhane Nazar Credenza.

Each piece is a limited edition and is handmade in Istanbul by master craftsmen. The Tepsi objects feature solid wood frames machined from digital data, hand-finished with henna, and adorned with artwork applied on glass or wooden panels using digital printing and hand-lacquering techniques.

The exhibition marked the first presentation of these pieces to an international audience, highlighting Ahu’s approach of combining diverse artisanal techniques within a single object.

During Milan Design Week 2022,  Meyhane Nazar cabinet was showcased at the İmarika Milano Boutique, featured prominently in the showroom window. Amidst the boutique’s vibrant colours and patterns, the cabinet stood out as one of the highlights of our debut collection.

Designed for the discerning collector, the Meyhane drinks cabinet is a contemporary piece created to display and celebrate rare whiskies and spirits, combining meticulous craftsmanship with a striking, sculptural presence.

At 5VIE, Ahu presented a selection of pieces from the studio’s collectible design collection: Ka’Ve coffee tables, where fluid forms meet refined craftsmanship, and Keyf 02, a meticulously detailed minibar.

Each work embodied Ahu’s hybrid approach to making, where advanced digital processes met time-honoured craftsmanship. Separate sections of each piece were formed by different masters and later assembled, bringing together the distinct knowledge and techniques of multiple artisans.

The solid mahogany frame of Keyf 02 was machined from digital data, then hand-finished by a master carpenter and treated with henna to achieve its signature velvety surface. The artwork adorning its panels was applied through a custom digital printing process and sealed under hand-lacquered layers that created a glass-like depth and gloss. Similarly, the fluid forms of the Ka’Ve coffee tables were digitally sculpted and paired with organically shaped plywood legs that enhanced their tactile presence.

Each Ahu design was produced in a limited edition, accompanied by an engraved metal plaque displaying its unique edition number –a testament to its rarity and craftsmanship.

The Nazar Cabinet was showcased at the beautiful Royal Suite of @stpancrasren between 20–26 September. As one of the centrepieces of the debut collection, the Meyhane drinks cabinet is conceived for the discerning collector –a contemporary piece designed to celebrate and display rare whiskies and spirits.

Each cabinet is meticulously crafted from solid wood, with doors and side panels printed and hand-finished through multiple layers of high-gloss lacquer. Metal details in copper-plated brass are hand-worked to order by expert blacksmiths, merging refined craftsmanship with sculptural presence.
