DESIGNERS DO ANBERK DEMIR and Yeşim Eröktem, cofounders of Istanbul’s DAY Studio, consider themselves fortunate indeed. On

their doorstep is one of the oldest, largest, most-visited, and most bountiful covered markets in the world, a daily source of new ideas for their stylishly contemporary collections of homewares. Istanbul’s Grand Bazaar, known as Kapalıçarşı in Turkish, has been a key center of retail trade since the fifteenth century. Surviving numerous fires and several major earthquakes, it reigns in the top rank of the most popular of tourist destinations on the planet. The labyrinthine complex of sixty-one covered streets harbors more than four thousand stalls, restaurants, teahouses, and workshops. The vast marketplace is currently undergoing renovations in an attempt by the local government to stabilize the buildings, clean up the exterior, and formalize the management and operations. While some stallholders are celebrating the prospect of clearer passageways and leak-free roofs, others are concerned that rising rents are looming and that they may be forced out. In the face of a rapid ly modernizing Istanbul, Demir and Eröktem see it as a vital mission to explore the legacy of the primordial Turkish handicrafts that the bazaar has nurtured for so many centuries. Through their brand, AVLU, which is Turkish for “courtyard,” they employ contemporary design as a way to transform traditional techniques into marketable products by means of collaborations with local craftspeople. One of the studio’s collections, named Orta, was born from Turkey’s age-old connection with the stone trade. The centerpiece platters of the line are inspired by the marble marquetry of iconic local buildings like Hagia Sophia and are assembled from handselected, locally sourced marble. “We use the same techniques with a contemporary form and color story to bring the essence of ancient architectural design into the twenty-first century,” explains Demir. The Grand Bazaar not only displays an endless medley of miscellanies for the home, it also offers visitors an overwhelming range of edibles sweet and savory. What from among them might DAY Studio’s designers suggest to grace a platter from their Orta line? “It’s a tough choice,” says Eröktem, “but our favorite flavors of Turkish delight piled up in a pyramid would look wonderful.”
