\"Dining<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Along the Bosporus in Istanbul, young product and interior designer Merve Kahraman<\/a> has created a colorful pied-\u00e0-terre for a client who, like Kahraman herself, divides her time between New York and her native Turkey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI designed her apartment in New York, and then, when the pandemic happened, she decided she also wanted a place in Turkey,\u201d says Kahraman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vibrant one-bedroom, furnished mainly with pieces by Kahraman<\/a>, is a bold departure from its inhabitant\u2019s usual style. \u201cNormally, this client doesn\u2019t really like color,\u201d Kahraman explains. \u201cIf you look at her apartment in Midtown Manhattan\u201d \u2014 a more subdued Scandinavian<\/a>-inspired affair \u2014 \u201cthe color is a very different experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cEvery time I do an interiors project, it enables me to design new products,” says Turkish creator Merve Kahraman<\/a>, whose furniture mixes bold graphic elements. All photos courtesy of Merve Kahraman<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Kahraman studied interior design at the Istituto Europeo di Design in Milan and followed up with a master\u2019s in product design from London\u2019s Central Saint Martins. In London and New York, she worked with the likes of Tom Dixon<\/a> and Tord Boontje<\/a> before going out on her own. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 2016, Kahraman has lived and worked in New York, but she returns to her home country every few months. \u201cAll my production is there,\u201d she says. Made with a diversity of materials from wood veneers and marble to mohair and rattan, her whimsical yet sophisticated lighting<\/a>, furniture and accessories are produced by local workshops and craftsmen who are masters in their particular specialties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe did a lot of custom furniture in this apartment,\u201d says Kahraman, whose decision to focus on product design was motivated by a desire to distinguish her interiors with her own creations. \u201cEvery time I do an interiors project, it also enables me to design new products.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why so much color for a client who was initially afraid of it? \u201cI just wanted to make her happy because I know that color can do that,\u201d the designer says. \u201cAnd I had a feeling this would be her happy place when she came back to her country.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Entrance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Corner<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Hall<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When looking for a spot for the owner\u2019s piano, Kahraman settled on the entrance. \u201cI thought it would create a sense of drama.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Framed by an original brick wall, the B\u00f6sendorfer upright is topped with vases and sculptures selected together with the client and a painting by Ahu Akg\u00fcn. \u201cShe\u2019s a very important young artist right now in Turkey,\u201d says Kahraman. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with a custom velvet piano bench, the striking space includes a curvy credenza, which was specially designed to store the client\u2019s shoe collection. \u201cShe gave me the heel heights and everything,\u201d says Kahraman. \u201cShe’s very exacting, so everything is made to her specifications.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Living Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Living<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The main challenge Kahraman faced, aside from convincing her client to go bold with color, was the apartment\u2019s unusual layout. \u201cIt\u2019s like one big, long corridor,\u201d the designer says. The owner wanted to delineate different areas to create a diversity of spaces. Anchoring the living-room area, the long green velvet sofa<\/a>, custom designed by Kahraman, was a starting point. \u201cNow she is actually really enjoying this color because it\u2019s kind of changed the whole aura of the space,\u201d Kahraman adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to a mix of custom end tables and a custom wall lamp in brass with black accents and frosted glass, the welcoming arrangement includes Kahraman\u2019s N-Gene armchair<\/a> and her Abide coffee table, which, like the custom rug and colorful pillows on the sofa, incorporate a checkered pattern. \u201cThe whole concept of this home grew out of checks,\u201d Kahraman says. \u201cIt\u2019s a base graphic throughout the apartment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Dining Area<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Dining<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cWe wanted to try to create this kind of caf\u00e9 ambience,\u201d says Kahraman. Along with the defining pastel-pink leather banquette, Kahraman custom designed the oak table<\/a> with striped marble legs, the brass-and-leather poufs and the terrazzo bookshelf<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahraman also updated the owner\u2019s antique bar cabinet<\/a>. \u201cIt was all dark woods,\u201d she says. \u201cI thought it would be nice to add cream, you know, make it a little bit more modern.\u201d The playful space is topped by a custom version of Kahraman\u2019s Ziron chandelier<\/a> in mint green, along with myriad prints selected by the designer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Main Bedroom<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Main<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Next to her Abide side table<\/a>, Kahraman placed a custom pouf in velvet and oak with a top that lifts up to store the owner\u2019s yoga and exercise equipment. The calming space also includes a custom credenza in the same wood marquetry as the one in the entrance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Reading Nook<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"Reading<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"Reading<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What might have been used as a closet was transformed into a cozy alcove for the owner. \u201cIt turned out to be a kind of divan sofa and reading area,\u201d says Kahraman. \u201cIt\u2019s really cute.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kahraman selected a red-and-white-striped fabric and a complementary red frame for a painting by Turkish artist Enes Debran. She added bookshelves and covered the walls with a stucco paint that brought out the pied-\u00e0-terre\u2019s blue accents. \u201cI added a bit of blue in this house,\u201d she says. \u201cWhen you see how the light is coming into the apartment and all the green outside, it makes for a nice blend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Powder Room<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Powder<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

The dramatic wallpaper sets the tone in the powder room. Thanks to the custom tinted mirror, the peacocks on the facing wall appear to be standing in an arch. \u201cIt\u2019s like an optical illusion,\u201d Kahraman says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Terrace<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n
\n
\"Terrace<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Kahraman carried the interior\u2019s stripes outside to a wide terrace with a view of greenery and the Bosporus beyond. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLooking back, it\u2019s a nice project, considering we were in very hard times,\u201d she says. \u201cI would have maybe even used more color, if it was up to me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\t
