Portrait of a Designer.

, a Turkish designer, found his inspiration wandering through the vibrant streets of Notting Hill, London. From browsing the eclectic stalls of Portobello Market to discovering hidden gems in antique shops, the neighborhood captivated him. Eventually, he stumbled upon a charming apartment in a stucco-fronted townhouse from the mid-19th century. Renovating his London home helped him hone his aesthetic, leading to the creation of his own design business and bringing maximalist flourishes to life in his elegant Notting Hill flat. Despite needing some TLC, its unique features like the original marble fireplace stole his heart.
