Authentic, elegant, and simple. These three words perfectly sum up the designs of Edizione Living, founded by Sema Gizem Özdemir and Burcu Burat. Inspired by local artisans, the brand’s products are crafted in small-scale, boutique workshops rather than factories. In the CHOICES project by Yuzu Magazine and Edizione Living, four leading figures from Istanbul’s design scene posed in different corners of the brand’s newly opened store in Fenerbahce, Istanbul.

Interior Architect / Toros & Partners co-founder
I love the Elba Sofa in this corner because it’s both comfortable and stylish. The Pia Stool I’m sitting on, with its minimal and elegant design, adds a simple elegance and timeless aesthetic to any space. That’s why the Elba Sofa and Pia Stool were my picks from Edizione Living.
2. EMRE ÖZÜCOŞKUN
Interior Architect / Cisimdesign co-founder
Balance is a key element in all our projects. This Edizione corner feels close to me because it reminds me of the balance in materials, colors, and forms in our Cisimdesign projects. The harmony in the contrast between the bright, cool stool and the rug it stands on, along with the interplay between green plants and solid wood, beautifully reflects this balance.

With its natural, raw wood furniture and handmade pieces, the Edizione Living collections perfectly align with my lifestyle. I love the sense of warmth and character that the sofas and couches, draped in soft natural linen, bring to a space. This Edizione Living corner, with its color palette that moves from chocolate brown to beige, feels incredibly cozy, modern, and comfortable. Their eco-friendly production and commitment to sustainability are also among the main reasons I choose this brand. I can already imagine spending hours around this dining table with my loved ones by candlelight!

I chose this corner because this bedroom is exactly as I envisioned: natural, elegant, simple, and calming. The linen cover on the bed is especially wonderful, as I really value non-industrial materials in the bedroom. Think about it—we actually spend a huge part of our lives in the bedroom, and it deserves just as much care and attention as our other living spaces. I also love the wooden wardrobe here. To me, any type of wood is synonymous with tranquility. It’s so nice to see wood’s warm touch appearing more often in the design world these days; it makes me happy.
