Stellata: A Celestial Symphony in Handcrafted Glass

Seyma Nur Soysal Karpuz's Stellar Creation Wins Bronze A' Design Award

The Elemenduo Collection, Seyma Nur Soysal Karpuz's inaugural series, draws its inspiration from a rich tapestry of mythological narratives. Among these, Stellata stands out—a design piece that embodies the splendor of the night sky. This exquisite glass object, reminiscent of the Milky Way, brings the tales of celestial bodies into personal living spaces, creating an ambiance of mystique and elegance.

Stellata distinguishes itself through its unique properties. Each piece from Seym Glass Studio is a testament to the art of storytelling, with every handcrafted item narrating its own saga. The studio prides itself on its 100% handmade blown glass technique, ensuring that every product is a singular work of art. The individuality of each piece means that no two are exactly alike, with subtle variations in color and size adding to their exclusivity.

The creation of Stellata is a meticulous process, utilizing traditional blown glass techniques. The dimensions of each piece, approximately 15 cm by 24 cm, may vary slightly due to the handcrafted nature of the work. This level of craftsmanship ensures that each Stellata is not just a decorative object but a personal treasure for its owner.

Stellata is more than an object of beauty; it is an interactive piece that resonates with design enthusiasts who value originality and the art of glassmaking. It is a coveted item for those who are passionate about interior design and seek to enhance the aesthetic of their homes with unique decorative elements.

The journey of Stellata began in 2021, with its conception and subsequent display in Istanbul, Turkey. Available for purchase on the brand's website and showcased in the Seym Glass Studio showroom, the design has also graced the showcases of the Mandarin Oriental in both Istanbul and Bodrum. The design is the culmination of extensive research into glass workshops and brands, with the final product embodying the luminosity and wonder of the stars.

Overcoming the challenges of glass artistry, the design team at Seym Glass Studio meticulously shaped and colored each glass sphere, ensuring a harmonious composition reminiscent of constellations. After a careful cooling process and additional shaping, the spheres were bonded with a special adhesive and finished with the studio's logo, marking its authenticity.

Stellata's recognition with the Bronze A' Design Award in 2024 for Decorative Items and Homeware Design is a testament to Seyma Nur Soysal Karpuz's dedication to blending art, science, design, and technology. This accolade celebrates the design's contribution to enhancing quality of life and its role in making the world a more beautiful place.
