Chinte Ottoman: A Multifunctional Sectional Ottoman

Combining Cultural Motifs and Modern Design

Inspired by the Ottoman Empire and the symbolic chintemani motif, the Chinte Ottoman, designed by Murat Gedik, brings together tradition and modernity in a unique and versatile piece of furniture.

The Chinte Ottoman is not your ordinary ottoman. While it provides the comfort and functionality expected from such furniture, it goes beyond that by offering a multifunctional design suitable for a variety of spaces, from homes to museums and lobbies. With its sectional mechanism, it can be used as a whole or separated into individual seats, providing flexibility and adaptability.

What sets the Chinte Ottoman apart is its incorporation of the chintemani motif, a cultural symbol of strength, power, and sovereignty in Ottoman culture. The ottoman's design features three main circles and circles drawn within, creating a visually striking pattern that adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space.

One of the key strengths of the Chinte Ottoman is its customization options. It can be produced in countless different color combinations, allowing for personalization to suit any interior design scheme. Additionally, the choice of materials is vast, ranging from fabric, leather, felt, and linen for the outer circles to marble or wood for the innermost part. This flexibility ensures that the ottoman can seamlessly integrate into any environment, whether it be a cozy home or a grand lobby.

Functionality is also a priority in the design of the Chinte Ottoman. The innermost part, made of wood or fabric, provides hidden storage space for magazines, books, or any items that need to be quickly stowed away. This clever feature helps to keep the space organized and clutter-free.

Designed and realized in Istanbul, the Chinte Ottoman showcases the fusion of traditional motifs and contemporary design. It is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of the Ottoman Empire and a celebration of modern innovation. With its versatility, customization options, and unique design, the Chinte Ottoman is a standout piece that adds both style and functionality to any space.

The Chinte Ottoman was awarded the prestigious Iron A' Design Award in 2017. This recognition highlights its well-designed, practical, and innovative nature, meeting professional and industrial requirements. With its integration of industry best practices and competent technical characteristics, the Chinte Ottoman contributes to a better world by providing fulfillment and positive feelings to its users.
