Mae Istanbul was founded in 2021 by Filiz Özak and Gül Büyükçelebi.
MAE, based in Istanbul, has a design philosophy inspired by the light, texture, and rhythm of the Aegean and Mediterranean. The energy of the city and the freedom of the sea come together in timeless and balanced forms.

Natural materials, craftsmanship, and meticulous production form the foundation of the brand. Each piece is designed and produced by hand, combining traditional handcrafted techniques with a modern and simple aesthetic.

MAE aims to create pieces that can be used for many years, striking a natural balance between daily use and timeless elegance.
