Sonra, meaning “later” or “after” in Turkish, is a meditation on transformation, both material and cultural. This collection reimagines aluminum, once the backbone of modern industry, as a sculptural medium for the table and home. Handcast in recycled metal, each piece is shaped through a process that honors slowness, memory, and precision.

​

The forms draw inspiration from the mid-60s works of American artist Paul Feeley, whose curving, symmetrical compositions hovered between object and ornament. His language of shape is reinterpreted here in cast aluminum, stripped of color and redefined through texture and mass.

​

At the heart of Sonra is a collaboration with Ustas, master artisans whose work carries generations of knowledge. In our tradition, an usta is more than a skilled hand. They are custodians of methods, gestures, and stories that shape both material and meaning. Each object in the collection was handcast in a traditional foundry in the heart of Karaköy, Istanbul’s historic trade district. Among the narrow alleys and aging hans -workshop courtyards-, these workshops still echo with the sound of fire and metal.

​

Aluminum casting by hand is a disappearing practice in Istanbul. This project became an act of revival. Together with the ustas, we reawakened forgotten rhythms. What emerged was not just form, but a renewed bond between design and making. The artisans brought laughter, care, and deep intuition to every cast. Their presence is felt in every curve.

​

Each piece is made from reclaimed aluminum. The casting takes place in Istanbul. Finishing, refinement, and final touches happen in our Amsterdam atelier. From one city to another, the material travels, changes, and settles into its new form.

​

Sonra is a tribute. To the ustas. To the tradition. To the persistence of handcraft in an age of speed. And to the idea that the future can be shaped from what we already hold.
