This time I had the opportunity to photograph Murat Turkili whom we know of his creativity and succes as the creative director of Beymen. He has had a touch on everything from the decorations to the furniture from a design standpoint. Here are some photos of his apartment.


When we stepped foot into the ground floor in the historical building in Macka, the wide open floor-to-ceiling windows gave us the impression that the lobby flowed into the beautiful yard.

One year old Harvey is as much a special dog as he is naughty. He himself has participated in the design process of the house and has modified the occasional texture as he saw fit.

Globes on the wall are from Ysl store display. Lightning design by Ercan Kaan Canikli . The chair’s prints are taken from the photograph below, taken by Koray Birand.

Photos of his hands taken by his friend Koray Birand.

Parka customized by him with polka dots matching with his tattoo of a fullmoon, which, along with the other star tattos on his body symbolize the entire universe.

From his wide collection of shoes, white Hermes sneakers.

His classy way of serving coffee.

Among other gifts from his famous friends, this artwork comes from Haluk Akakçe.

Right next to his bed, a telephone with a great design by Bang&Olufsen which bears more resemblance to a boomerang than a traditional phone.

Yarbasan estates in Bodrum has been brought to life with principles of traditional architeture, traditional materials, and traditional production, in order to create a texture of regional village life in the hopes of becoming an example that would further such architeture, thanks to the project’s partners Arif Obdan and my father Cuneyt Tanman.

All the stones used for building the houses, woodcarves, tile and glass mosaics, ceramics and stained glasses are all handmade and they are produced during the construction in the on-site workshops of the yarbasan estates.

Plush dolls purchased from Grand Bazaar.

Painting of Fikret Otyam.

The view from my cousin’s house.

While I was walking in Corso Garibaldi, Milano, this cute flower shop caught my attention immediately.
I stared at this beautiful scene for a couple of minutes and took some photos.

After contemplating which rose to buy, i left with some lilac colored ones.

My youngest cousin’s interests and style always intrigued me.He can be seen tackling math problems in books bigger than him, elevating great distances in tall hotel elevators and wandering in subway stations (He knows the entire subway system by heart).

Another one of his hobbies is playing nintendo games.

The NY sticker on the wall isn’t a coincidence; since he is a big fan of “heights” the top of the Empire State and Eiffel Tower are his favorite spots.He is never satisfied unless he gets the top floor in the hotels he stays in.
