Lora Mobilya, Istanbul Furniture Fair 2025

When the product is industrial in character, a polished stand fights it. Lora's furniture uses raw metal, visible fixings and unfinished timber as design language, so a stand in sprayed white panel would have made the range look like a compromise.

The stand was built in the same vocabulary: exposed structure, metal and timber in combination, open volumes rather than closed rooms. The discipline in a project like this is that "raw" still has to be built precisely — a deliberately exposed weld or bolt is only convincing if it is neat, otherwise it reads as a mistake rather than a decision.
