Ahu carries this legacy forward in their new collection Nahıl, which reinterprets ceremonial objects through the lens of contemporary collectible design. Inspired by the upward-reaching forms of the ritual trees, the pieces occupy space as domestic totems, monolithic wooden cabinets, marble and marquetry tables, seating embroidered with floral geometries, and carpets that echo their motifs.

Each work functions as a symbolic vessel where ornament, form, and material converge into a contemporary mythology.

The decorative universe envisioned by Ahu draws from the visual heritage of Suzani textiles and the fluid rhythms of ebru marbling, extending across surfaces as living patterns that animate geometric rigour with organic vitality.

Every motif originates from the studio’s marbling works. The movement of ink on water is translated into wood carving, stone inlay, embroidery, and marquetry, transforming a fluid gesture into a tangible language of matter and form.

Produced in collaboration with Istanbul’s third-generation artisans, the collection affirms the enduring vitality of Anatolian craft. The techniques once at risk of fading, are renewed through contemporary design, reflecting a living continuity between past and present.
