Held at the Istanbul Expo Center from September 25 to 27, Furnishings & Design İstanbul (FDI) was once again one of the most important meeting points in the world of design and furniture this year. As FÖRNİ, we took our place at this special event, introducing our new collection for the first time and enjoying a fair experience full of inspiring collaborations.
Fluid Aesthetics with a Ribbon Effect
Our new collection, featuring furniture designs developed with distinctive materials, attracted strong interest from visitors. With a “ribbon effect,” the intertwining forms offered a pared-back, fluid aesthetic that brought an elegant dynamism to interiors. Created together with four independent designers, the series strongly reflected FÖRNİ’s pursuit of exploring different materials, its sustainable approach, and its design-driven production philosophy.
Discussions on a Sustainable Future
During the fair, we did not just exhibit our collection; we also took an active role in various events. Our Creative Director, Banu Uçak, moderated the panel “The Expression of Material for a Sustainable Future,” held as part of FDI Talks, bringing together leading names in the industry. The panel became a productive platform for sharing valuable ideas on the future of materials and sustainable production models.
Side by Side with Young Designers
One of the most meaningful parts of our fair experience was our collaboration with Bahçeşehir University. We contributed to the students’ open-source furniture design process by providing solid wood panels and craftsmanship support. The furniture created by the young designers was exhibited at the university’s FDI stand, where it met visitors. Supporting their creativity and sharing visibility side by side at the fair was a special source of pride for us.
The Beginning of New Stories
For FÖRNİ, Furnishings & Design İstanbul 2025 was not just a fair; it was a space where new stories, collaborations, and ideas began to take root. We thank all of our stakeholders who contributed and everyone who visited our stand.
