Our Story
A Friendship, a Kiln,
and a City
More than fifty years ago, two young men met at the Applied Fine Arts Academy in Istanbul. Hasan Eminağa and Tomrul Tomgűsehan came from different parts of Cyprus, but shared the same passion for clay and craft.
On 13 October 1974, they opened Dizayn74 Pottery in Kyrenia. It was the beginning of what would become the only traditional pottery studio in North Cyprus.
Handmade in Kyrenia, for the world.
The Process
Made Here. Made by Hand.
Every piece begins as raw clay. Two to three weeks of patient work pass before it leaves the kiln. Six stages, every one done by hand in this building.

Slow Living
“In a world that moves too fast, we believe in the beauty of slowness: the patience of the wheel, the warmth of clay, and the timelessness of things made by hand.”
