THE BEAUTY IS IN THE DIFFERENCE.Hi, I’m Tayfun.The maker behind your piece.
I’m Tayfun, the maker behind your piece. I learned to work with wood from my grandfather: patiently, carefully, and with respect for what nature has already created. Today, I carry that approach into every piece I make in my workshop in Türkiye.
Olive wood is at the heart of my work. I select wood from olive trees around 200–500 years old, carrying centuries of Anatolian history in their twisting grain, knots and natural edges. Each olive wood piece is shaped from a single, solid slab rather than a top assembled from separate boards. Following the craft my grandfather taught me, I work patiently with the wood’s natural character, shaping and finishing it by hand so its individual story remains visible.
You help choose the raw wood, and approve its photographs and measurements before payment. I then shape and finish your piece by hand. When it is complete, I send new photographs for your final approval before shipping. From the first slab to the finished object, you are in direct conversation with the person making it.
