Founder Simone Ng's vision transforms historical grandeur into wearable art, featuring delicate curvilinear forms and neoclassical and rococo designs echoing the palace's ornate interiors.
GATES TO BOSPHORUS
Inspired by the impressive gate of the palace that overlooks the Bosphorus River, the essence of its shape and pattern is translated into intricate metalwork encrusted with gemstones. A captivating unheated sapphire paired with a unique craftsmanship technique of marquetry intricately puzzles mother-of-pearl together to create a stunning work of art that is more than what meets the eye.
GRAND CHANDELIERS
The grand chandelier, notably the world's largest Bohemian crystal chandelier, is an impressive artwork that hangs above the Ceremonial Hall. This breathtaking structure has inspired cascading and intricate designs, such as floating pearls encased in reimagined three-dimensional structures inspired by the enchanting features of the chandelier. It evokes quiet elegance on another level.
"DOLMABAHCE celebrates history, craftsmanship, and timeless elegance. It is a homage to the legacy of the Dolmabahce Palace and an invitation to adorn oneself with the splendour of a bygone era."
