The brief

Lighting that could not be found everywhere.

For this boutique hotel in Ayvalık, the client was looking for lighting pieces that could not be found everywhere — something site-specific, distinctive, and far from standardised, mass-manufactured products.

Read the design notes: one lighting family, different forms across the hotel.

Pendants · method

Each form discovers itself.

Using parametric design tools, we developed a family of ceramic pendants shaped through a controlled digital process — each piece naturally finds its own form. They belong to the same design language, but no two are exactly the same.

The video shows how a single pendant gradually arrives at its shape through this generative process.

Wall sconces · a new series

A woven surface, designed for this hotel.

Alongside the pendants, we developed a completely new series of wall sconces, designed specifically for this property. The ceramic itself is opaque. Small bridges form a double-wall, openwork structure designed to let indirect light pass through its openings while screening a direct view of the light source.

The result is a depth and softness that would be difficult to reach with conventional production — an aesthetic that belongs not only to the material, but to the way it is made.

Surface

Openings shape the light.

The double-wall texture is formed by designing the paths followed by the clay printer. Light travels through the spaces between small ceramic bridges, giving the sconce a different character when it is switched on.

Scope

Three families of pieces, across the property.

Each piece is developed to contribute to the atmosphere of the hotel while keeping a single design identity across the rooms and the public areas.

01

15 guest rooms

Pendant & sconce, every room.

A pendant overhead and a wall sconce on the wall — together they set the night-time character of each room.

02

Staircase / gallery void

Five related, distinct pendants.

Five pendants vary in form and scale while sharing the same Coirra surface language. Together they create a composition for the staircase void without repeating one identical piece.

03

Lobby area

A pendant trio and table lamp.

A three-pendant composition was developed for the lobby. A table lamp extends the family through the same stoneware clay and firing process.
