A comprehensive look at Istanbul-based interior designer Zeynep
Fadillioglu's most striking projects, from a modern minimalist mosque to
the city's largest luxury hotel.
Renowned for her striking, multilayered projects that are rich in
materials, arts, and crafts, Zeynep Fadillioglu's interiors express a
bold contemporary sophistication and modern understanding of traditional
values.
Born and raised in Istanbul, Fadillioglu studied computer science and
then art history and design at London's Inchbald School of Design before
setting up her design company in Istanbul. Today, having designed many
notable landmarks, she is one of the most sought-after designers both at
home and abroad. Her thoughtful, creative, and interdisciplinary
approach to interior design bridges history, community, cities, climate,
and culture with meticulous attention to detail and to storytelling.
Beautifully printed in Italy, this monograph presents a selection of the
designer's finest projects, revealing the inspiration that has made her
work in demand from London and New York to Bombay and Qatar. Written in
first person, the volume provides an intimate insight into a uniquely
nuanced cross-cultural approach to design that combines classic and
contemporary, responding to the complex links between nature, heritage,
culture, craft, and art.
The book features never-before-published photographs and captivating
original illustrations.
