Who is behind the name Defne?
Pages in this voice prefer a table to a long paragraph: a wall becomes a run of seats, a doorway becomes a gap, and the whole room ends up as a piece list and a simple sketch, with the arithmetic left to the majlis planner. The name is the Turkish word for laurel, al-ghar in Arabic, and it is an everyday, contemporary name in Istanbul.

How does this voice turn a room into a plan?
A comfortable majlis begins on paper, as a sketch that carries real measurements. The tone is calm and exact: numbered steps, a colon before each list and each dimension written once, in one unit. Vague promises about a size that suits any room never appear; a measured number takes their place.
Where do layout plans and quotes really come from?
Our design team prepares the layout plans, quotes and orders, and no editorial voice answers a question or measures a room. The planning and measuring guides collect this voice's pages in one place, while our editorial standards set out how every page is drafted and checked.
