LIGHTWORK
Every single Lightwork product is made with the same spirit, free of unnecessary ornaments, highly pure and elegant to honor the material itself. Lightwork aims to unleash the hidden beauty of the materials, like brass or copper and the reflections of their inner aesthetics and dynamics in simple forms. Lightwork refines the color and deepness of the light in different designs for different light temperatures. All Lightwork products are designed and produced with no compromise and use only the best materials available in the market. All Lightwork products are handmade, the craftsmanship represented by the designer himself, HüseyinTurgut, in the atelier in Beyoğlu, İstanbul, where almost unlimited material and color combinations can be customized for the curious customer.
