My Anda

My journey of concrete crafting started at 2018 when I saw a concrete project in a DIY magazine. I fell in love with the raw and imperfect texture of concrete when I first touched it. Concrete was simple but aesthetic, solid but fragile. Degradation of grey colour, little holes of air bubbles were so natural, no makeup…

​

After two years of trials and errors, I decided to create my own brand. Being a Turkish designer inspired by the calm, minimal and peaceful atmosphere of Scandinavian design, I wanted to reflect this cross-cultural effect in my brand’s name. Hence, I named it Atelier Anda, meaning “spirit” in Swedish and “in this moment” in Turkish.  

​

And now in 2023, Atelier Anda continues its journey in UK, inspired by lovely British interior design. With the opportunity of wide crafting materials and tools range in UK, I have started to use jesmonite beside concrete and hopefully will continue to try new materials and designs in future.

So, if you are into handmade cross-cultural homeware, made in UK, welcome to Atelier Anda 😊
