KEMHA FABRICS

The Ottoman Kemha fabric known to westerners as “brocade” is a silk fabric with a double ground with an admixture of gold thread. In the 16th century, orders were placed for this type of fabric for use in papal robes and the ceremonial apparel worn by the imperial entourage. Today Kemha fabrics are produced at ARMAGGAN ateliers with traditional techniques.

HOSPITALITY

ARMAGGAN BOSPORUS SUITES

Occupying three immaculately

restored yalis (waterfront mansions)

on the Bosporus’s European shore,

ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites

bring a new hospitality concept to

Istanbul: intimate home-style living

nessed by the city’s most exclusive

design house.

Available singly, as three separate

houses or as one large residence,

the 18 individual suites celebrate the

nest in local craftsmanship and

hospitality, from exquisite textiles and

objets d’art by Istanbul’s hottest

young designers to Anatolia’s purest

natural and regional cuisine.

Architecture and Location ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites are located on the European side of the Bosphorus in Ortaköy, a popular cosmopolitan neighbourhood in Istanbul’s thriving Beşiktaş district. The suites occupy a commanding waterfront location, directly adjacent to the Bosphorus Bridge, facing Istanbul’s Beylerbeyi Palace. A constant flow of ferries and leisure boats fills the Suites’ terraces with the unique energy of one of the world’s busiest waterways. Originally the residence of Anatolia’s Governor General, Beylerbeyi Palace was rebuilt as a summer residence for Sultan Abdülaziz on the Bosphorus’ Asian shore in 1860’s by renowned Ottoman architect Sarkis Balyan. So proud was Balyan of his palatial creation that he built his own yali on the European shore from which to cherish it. His restored yali is now part of the ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites. Beneath the ever-changing colors of the Bosphorus Bridge, ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites retain their unique standing on the strait.

CULTURAL HERITAGE & ARCHITECTURE

The Suite Experience Conceived as a meeting place for international culture lovers, life at the suites is based around a communal sense of living that celebrates a coming together of interests and minds. Three traditional yalis – each with its own kitchen and lounge – combine to create one very special residence. At the heart of it all, a large drawing room and terrace welcomes with views across the glittering Bosphorus. Occupy a suite, a yali or the entire 18-suite residence. Enjoy bathing and massages in the private Turkish hamam. Experience private cultural immersions in and around the city, and revel in the ease and exclusivity of your own waterfront home. Home-Style Living In keeping with its residential concept, ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites offer every personalized home comfort one would expect from a refined city residence: from butler and laundry services to customized city transfers by private car, boat or jet. Suite guests can also enjoy traditional Turkish treatments in the private spa and hamam, as well as day or overnight trips to numerous local sites of interest.

AN UNFORGETABLE MOMENT IN ISTANBUL

PRIVATE ART COLLECTION

Private Collection ARMAGGAN Bosporus Suites is home to an exceptionally valuable collection of pieces by artists whose works are the milestones of Turkish art. The collection selected for the yalis consists of artists representing every period of modern Turkish art, including names like Şeker Ahmet Pasha, Hoca Ali Rıza, Osman Hamdi Bey, İbrahim Çallı, Halil Pasha, Hikmet Onat and Fikret Mualla, as well as important works by contemporary masters like Adnan Turani, Komet, Muhsin Kut and Orhan Peker. As you explore the yalis, which are enlivened with notable pieces such as Nuri İyem’s “Women,” “Magnolias” by İbrahim Çallı, Necdet Kalay’s “Views” and Adnan Turani’s “Woman Playing the Violin,” you will discover a different master of Turkish art on every wall.

KNOW HOW & COLLABORATIONS

KNOW-HOW

Turkish Cultural Foundation Established on January 1st 2000, the Turkish Cultural Foundation has grown into one of the world’s preeminent charitable organizations for the promotion and preservation of Turkish culture and heritage worldwide. With offices in Istanbul, Boston and Washington D.C., and a selection of encyclopedic websites, the organization supports a range of education and research programs and cooperates with numerous like-minded organizations. It also runs two parallel project centers: Cultural Heritage Preservation and Natural Dyes Laboratory; and YESAM Culinary Arts Center.

KNOW-HOW

Cultural Heritage Preservation and

Natural Dyes Laboratory

Central to ARMAGGAN’s mission is

the preservation of centuries-old

weaving and natural dying techniques

to create exceptional modern fabrics

in classic designs. ARMAGGAN works

closely with the Cultural Heritage

Preservation and Natural Dyes

Laboratory– established by TCF in

2010 and now the proud developer

and owner of the world’s largest

collection of organic plant dyes.

1 OF 10 LARGEST

NATURAL DYING LABORATORY

IN THE WORLD

+600 NATURAL PLANTS

INSECTS

This laboratory possesses what is

currently the world's largest collection of

natural plant dyes and dyestuffs. In

analysis of dyestuffs used in historic

artifacts, it ranks among the world's top

ten laboratories. Drawing on its extensive

collection of natural dye plants, the

laboratory is able to use comparative

techniques to reach accurate and reliable

conclusions about which plant was used to

dye an artifact, which period it dates to

and in which region it was produced.

Moreover, by using these plants in dying

processes, the laboratory is able to

develop new dyes and make it possible to

produce a wider variety of shades and

colors using natural dyes.
