"The magic in handicraft is that each unique second spent in the making of a product is preserved in the DNA of that product. And that makes the product unique."
Kerem and Merve, the visionary creators behind Uniqka, are not only founders but also skilled artisans, personally crafting every Uniqka product alongside their skillful, passionate, and high-spirited team in their workshop in Istanbul, Turkey. Their collaborative efforts not only ensure the exceptional quality of each piece but also reflect a shared commitment to delivering products that increase the quality of life, embodying the spirit of creativity and authenticity that defines Uniqka's approach to design.
