Nedavno odprt razstavni prostor Talu Tekstil v Istanbulu sprejema stranke in uteleša položaj blagovne znamke kot enega vodilnih turških proizvajalcev tekstila. Od svoje ustanovitve leta 1994 je Talu močno zrasel in zdaj proizvede okoli 13 milijonov oblačil na leto, od katerih je pomemben delež namenjen zahtevnejšemu evropskemu trgu. Pri načrtovanju svojega novega sedeža je podjetje uporabilo strokovno znanje in izkušnje arhitekturne prakse XYZ Design, znane po svojem inovativnem pristopu k brezhibnemu zlivanju oblike in funkcije.

Covering over 1,000 square metres, the project has been meticulously crafted to reflect Talu Tekstil’s philosophy and distinctive style. In the words of the XYZ Design team, their approach focused on creating a “transparent space that flows and offers continuity”, moving away from “accumulated and unclear zones”. This strategy has resulted in an aesthetically pleasing and contemporary interior and exterior design that is also practical and serves the functional purpose of the building.

One of the outstanding features of the showroom is the use of materials, including Cosentino. Specifically, Dekton was chosen by the XYZ Design team for its “calm and soothing design language”, which was in perfect harmony with the overarching vision of the project. Cosentino’s ultra-compact stone was selected on the basis of three key factors: its aesthetic appeal, its long-term durability and the crucial hygienic factors that are essential in a showroom environment.

In the bathroom, Dekton Sasea, an ultra-compact stone inspired by Sahel limestone with greyish-cream tones, was used for the countertop. Its beauty is enhanced by the way it interacts with the plant motifs carved into the wall. This material made it possible to create a design rich in detail while maintaining a controlled and smooth appearance, reflecting Talu Tekstil’s meticulousness and commitment to quality.

In contrast to the choice for the bathroom, Dekton Kelya, inspired by dark marble with light veins, adorns the façade of the showroom. This ultra-compact stone makes a bold visual statement to visitors with its resounding and elegant appearance. As they say, first impressions count.

The collaboration with XYZ Design and the choice of Cosentino materials have given rise to a space that allows Talu Tekstil’s products to shine in their own light. It is no easy task to design modern retail spaces to perfection, but this project achieved a very good result.
