ilitya

Stoneware objects shaped by hand and fired once, at 1240 °C. Design pieces for slow rituals — made in a small atelier above the Golden Horn.

The studio

Quiet objects for slow rituals. Each piece leaves the kiln once — and leaves the studio only when it deserves to.

Hakan Daşdan
Signature

Sculptural stoneware — daybeds, low tables, lighting. One-of-a-kind pieces that begin as charcoal sketches and end as architecture for the home. By inquiry only.

Philosophy

“Porcelain wants to be perfect. Stoneware wants to be honest.

— Hakan Daşdan, founder

Experience
