ART

ZEYNEP EROL Z

eynep Erol was born in Istanbul in the year 1960. After graduating from the German High School in Istanbul, she studied German literature at the Istanbul University. After six years of teaching German at a private school in Istanbul, she enrolled in 2 year program to study metal technique at the Istanbul’s famous covered Bazaar in 1989. She then continued her studies in wax design techniques...

In her first years, Zeynep Erol was mainly inspired by nature and created forms with her own modern interpretation. In later years however, her designs have become more geometrical. Zeynep Erol’s Jewelry reflects her spiritual inner world, affections, relations, feelings, desires and change in the philosophy of life. The main materials used

by Zeynep Erol in creating her pieces are; green, white and red gold (18 and 22k) together with silver (950 sterling silver). The selection of the remaining materials and the precious stones are chosen differently for each particular theme she wants to get across. A wide range of materials such as coconut shells, pearls, brilliants, sapphire, ruby, emeralds, quartz, glass, rose cut and uncut diamonds, sandalwood, tortoise shell, ebony and feathers are used by her as necessary.

This sculpture was inspired by the magic and the greatness of the ocean and the pettiness of one drop of water. Being a tiny part of a huge integrity. Important and insignificant.

Zeynep Erol’s theme for her jewelries is ‘Jewelries free of Burden’ which accents the fact that they are very easily used in everyday life. After establishing her own brand ‘‘Zeynep Erol Jewelry Design’’ and opening up her own gallery / atelier in 1996, she began presenting her designs in her own Gallery as well as Aaron Faber in New York, and Electrum Gallery in London.

Zeynep Erol’s sculptures have been exposed at KNDU mockup villa to add an atmosphere of sophistication to the modern interior design of the living and dining areas.

Every one of her sculpture tells a story.

These one of kind decorative sculptures are creative and beautifully unique.

THE ARMANI GROUP OPENS ITS FIRST

ARMANI/CASA STORE IN ISTANBUL G iorgio Armani is pleased to announce the opening of its first Armani/Casa freestanding store at in Instabul.

The underlying concept behind the Armani/Casa store is to create a distinctive atmosphere through a combination of products that range from furniture and furnishings to accessories, décor and fabrics – for both day and night zones – carefully selected for their compatibility in terms of shape, material and colour, and all displayed within a bright but softly lit environment. More than fifteen years after its foundation, Armani/Casa is a world leader in the luxury furnishings sector. A byword for elegance and style, it stems from Giorgio Armani’s living dream of a warm, harmonious, highly comfortable and sophisticated haven. The studio’s work involves developing creative solutions – under the artistic direction of Giorgio Armani – that are the product of painstaking architectural research and extensive study into the project’s cultural, geographical and architectural context. In this way, the individual designs are developed to be perfectly integrated into their settings in terms of their features and aesthetic values.

KNDU mockup villa has been completely furnished

by Armani Casa’s lasted collection. Each piece is a real work of art adding to each area an atmosphere of sophistication and luxury. Armani prefers to create through his furniture a paradisiacal world of his own, typified by visual quiet and the agreement of all the parts, from the huge sofa down to stately little table lamps. Famous for unstructured tailoring, he designs environments that relax formality in favor of an elegant, easy simplicity. With Armani/Casa, Giorgio Armani presents his ideal for living, his dream of the perfect environment: an intimate and comfortable space in which to relax, unwind and entertain. This is achieved through the synergies of a home collection ranging from furniture to accessories, textiles and decorative objects, all blending together to form a sophisticated atmosphere. Armani/Casa’s distinctive style incorporates a harmonious combination of different inspirations and design codes. A natural predilection for the style of the Thirties and Forties and for the cultures of the Far East is a recurrent theme.
