About

Neolonca presents an exclusive trade-only exhibition exploring the evolution of Turkish craftsmanship through contemporary design. This special event showcases products reinterpreting traditional techniques, materials and storytelling to create unique handcrafted pieces that bridge the past and present.

Neolonca: a fusion of ‘Neo’ for new and ‘Lonca’ (Guild) for the spirit of craftsmanship, embodies a contemporary guild of artisans, designers and cultural experts dedicated to preserving and reimagining Turkish heritage. Drawing inspiration from Hatay’s rich cultural legacy, Neolonca is committed to preserving and sustaining this heritage.

The collection highlights a curated selection of works that showcase the depth and diversity of Turkey’s rich artisanal heritage. From the luminous beauty of İznik çini tiles and the elegance of hand-forged silver to the warmth of carved wood and the delicate artistry of blown glass, each piece reflects the mastery and ingenuity of its maker.

Through this showcase, Neolonca not only celebrates craftsmanship but also fosters dialogue on the role of heritage in contemporary design and the creative possibilities of collaboration.

The products are the joint work of master artisans and designers, exploring the intricate processes that embody both cultural legacy and contemporary refinement.
