Turkish Modern is a family-owned shop rooted in Istanbul.

Since 2010, we have worked with small ateliers across Turkey, many of them family-run, producing objects shaped by enduring materials, skilled craftsmanship, and long-standing traditions.

Production is overseen by founder Şeyda Doğan Carter, whose work is grounded in close collaboration with the workshops we partner with across the country.

Alexander B. Carter, a visual artist from New Orleans, shapes the brand’s visual language.

Built without outside investors, Turkish Modern has grown deliberately through careful production, long relationships, and steady work.

Today, we operate from our flagship in Istanbul while serving an international clientele. Our work has been featured in publications including The New York Times, Condé Nast Traveler, Maison Française, Elle Decor, the San Francisco Chronicle, and The 500 Hidden Secrets of Istanbul.
