UN RAW THE RIVER LARGE

Büyükada, Istanbul

Alper Nakri born in Istanbul, is a Los Angeles based, experimental design studio established in 2011. The studio combines traditional and contemporary manufacturing methods with art and technology to create one-of-a-kind functional furniture pieces. The designs invite the viewer to embark on a journey through the imaginative worlds created by their unique materials and unexpected details.

''I’m deeply fascinated by the fact that something I create lives another life in someone else’s physical space.  This feeling helped me realize that making objects was my way of touching other people’s lives. My pieces are timeless stories that re-tell themselves in spaces that welcome them.''
