About
Meet Nara. Based in Istanbul, we craft high-quality, handmade and sustainable objects with the intention of bringing peace and harmony into our living spaces.
Mission
Our mission is to meet you in those quiet moments of mindfulness, where you pause, return to the present, and perhaps transform it into a ritual. What makes an object truly special is the mindful and conscious process behind each piece, infused with positive energies and heartfelt wishes. Nara presents objects full of love and light. ​
We hold the belief that the objects within our homes—our sacred sanctuaries—have a profound impact on our mood and energy, whether we are consciously aware of it or not. Surrounding ourselves with items we love and appreciate fosters a sense of well-being, enhancing our daily lives. Therefore, it is essential to curate everyday objects in our living spaces that not only resonate with us but also contribute to a heightened sense of happiness and fulfillment.
About the Creator
Burcu Hendek is an Istanbul-born designer whose practice is rooted in material, touch, and intuition. After moving to Milan at 17, she studied Product Design at NABA. Following her graduation, she worked as a product designer and interior designer with various brands before creating her own.
Her encounter with ceramics marked a turning point. Burcu believes that clay carries energy, absorbing the maker’s intention, presence, and emotional state through touch. Making becomes a ritual: an intentional act that goes beyond shaping form.
She creates ritualistic objects that shape space and define moments, intimate realms that invite pause, presence, and connection.
