The “Ornament” series by Rümeysa Memiş, based on the interior decoration of Abdülmecid Efendi Mansion, examines the understanding of decoration in Ottoman mansions. Eastern decorations investigated by foreign architects in modern architectural movements of the 19th century are far beyond being a superficial addition. The decorations that come together with the function and meaning constitute one of the unique and strong aspects of Ottoman mansions.
This series, which emerged after a two-year research and trial period, features traditional furniture units such as a sergen, stool, and sini as a modern interpretation of design. Turkish wire embroidery, susma, and hasır techniques were used in the patterns on the furniture pieces, which were constructed together with their functions. The collection’s patterns aim to maintain Turkish cultural heritage by keeping up with today’s lifestyle.
