ABOUT
OUR BRAND
We take a contemporary and innovative approach to classic enamelware and aim to produce a wide selection of premium quality tableware with artisanal touches. BORNN was founded in 2015 by two sisters Başak Onay and Öykü Thurston who both have backgrounds in creative industries. When they were global nomads growing up in Tokyo, Barcelona and Los Angeles away from their home town of Istanbul, they were exposed to different cultures and craftsmanship, which aspired them to create their own company that brings together years of developed skills and local heritage. BORNN takes its inspiration from the fascinating history of enamelware and by using traditional manufacturing techniques, aims to produce modern, unique and hand crafted pieces to help keep these skills alive. All of our collections are produced in Istanbul by master artisans and we seek to empower our community by developing new ways for them to use their years gained knowledge.
ABOUT
OUR PRODUCTS
Enamelware is a time honored and a time consuming process made by fusing glass onto heavy-gauge steel. Raw steel bodies are machine mulled or hand-formed, glazed and then kiln fired to create a smooth surface. We fire our products using a traditional kiln which creates very high firing temperatures. Depending on where an individual item is placed in the kiln, the degree impacts the colour intensity of the product giving each design a unique beauty and a point of difference.
MAKING
OF OUR PRODUCTS
Every piece in our Marble, Monochrome, Drip, Bloom and Mediterranean collections is hand made individually. The patterns dier on each item showing the marks of its journey. We see these dierences as something special that gives our products a unique character to be enjoyed over time.
MARBLE collection
Marble Collection is produced by using the traditional marbling technique that emerged in Anatolia and dates back to the 15th century. Contrasting colors and patterns create a surprising composition and part of its appeal is that each design is unique. Coincidence and the hand of the artisan play a strong role in the creation of each pattern and the collection balances on the border between art, craft and design.

MONOCHROME collection
Traditionally produced in Puglia, splatter patterns were used in everyday Italian ceramics. We created a line that takes after this traditional technique and introduces a new approach of using splatter only on the rims of the products as well as on the inside. The black and white colors emphasize the contrast between pattern and solid; light and dark.
MEDITERRANEAN collection
Our yearning for a slower life led us to design the Mediterranean Collection that takes us back to our roots. Freshly prepared food, “al fresco dining" with friends and family and the waves of the pure crystal Mediterranean Sea take the lead role as a source of inspiration for this collection. The serene contrast between blue and white gives a distinct character and a refreshing culinary perception.
DRIP
collection
Drip Collection is inspired by the famous drip painting technique. It emphasizes the uniqueness of hand made process with the outcome of reďŹ ned and one of a kind pieces. Simple and sophisticated forms combined with a solemn color palette and abstract patterns, create an enamelware collection that is unique but at the same time practical and versatile.
BLOOM collection
Bloom Collection relates closely to day to day life. Simple and minimalistic forms together with vibrant and exuberant colors invite the user to invent surprising compositions. Inspired by the spring time and awakening of the nature, this collection stimulates the taste buds and creates a feast for the eye.
BATHROOM selection
Inspired by the old world ideals of utility, we put together a selection for the bathroom. By mixing our already existing products with new soap dishes and trays, we wanted to make our everyday tasks simpler. Our goal was to organize and add character to the smallest space in our lives, where we start and end our daily routines.
