In each issue, we are presenting various good examples of the usage of natural stones in spaces and also trying to show the difference natural stones make when used in furnitures. About furniture or object design, foreign examples were at the forefront rather than the local ones during the recent years. We’re saying ‘recent years’ because shortly, we will be hearing about Gobanni, a company that makes all the difference in domestic furniture production, personally through words from the owner, Tuncer Altıkulaç.
Tuncer Altıkulaç:
“Started to be used as a building block thousands of years ago, marble has turned into a decorative construction material in today’s structures. Besides its natural quality, marble maintains its characteristics for being the most reliable and durable building block.
The latest form of giant stone block, phases it goes through and its demanding nature during the production impresses us. It responds to your efforts. If you use it roughly just because it’s marble, hard and heavy, it reminds you that it’s not what it looks like by suddenly being broken. This is our friendship, the emotional bond.
What makes marble so special is its uniqueness. The skilled hands of nature glamorized marble with an artist’s touch and rendered unique. This uniqueness is also a challenge. For this reason, we form this great gift of nature with a unique and refined taste, just like itself.
We seek for a harmony in distinction, a pattern and form in marble. Forming the marble and revealing the beauty inside is a passion for us.
For us, marble is not merely a stone quarried from nature, it carries a meaning. Even when handled, it holds the story of hundreds of years on its texture and color. It already has a story before reaching you. When we get together, we add our own interpretation and bring it together with its passionate buyer to continue its story.
The brand GOBANNI is a boutique company of TA Stone which was formed in 2007. The parent company TA Stone executes particularly in marble installation, mechanical plating, flooring installation, boutique marble and natural stone practices.
