Posted in: Uncategorized
Two brass tables adorned with dried wheat make up The Blessed Lands collection, which Esvednâme is presenting at VDF x Ventura Projects.
Exhibitor: Esvednâme
Project title: The Blessed Lands
Esvednâme is a design studio in Istanbul whose work pays homage to Middle Eastern culture and artisans. This includes The Blessed Lands collection, which it is introducing as part of the VDF x Ventura Projects collaboration.
The Blessed Lands series features two brass tables decorated with dried wheat, as a nod to the “fruitful lands” of southeastern Turkey where the crop was first grown.
Each table is also finished with calligraphy or inlaid art, which the studio describes as “one of the two important elements of Islam and the Middle East culture”. On The Blessing Table, this includes a Hadith engraving, while the Ceremony side-tables are decorated with brass inlays.
