For Uniqka I designed ZIN. Originally a storage for reading materials
such as books, magazines and newspapers; Zin functions
as well as a coffee table. With the help of the leather handle,
ZIN can be carried to a desired space and a warm cup of coffee
can be enjoyed, while reading. UNIQKA is an Istanbul-based
design brand, focusing on craft and material. The emphasis is on the
versatility and elegance of leather. Carrying forward the heritage of art
and craftsmanship of four generations, UNIQKA offers timeless pieces
for living spaces.
