All designs, from majlis sets to floor cushions

Five seating families fill the catalog, and each one is built a different way. Custom majlis are made to order for each room. Floor sofa sets and diwans come in standard pieces you can count. Sedir benches lift a seat cushion onto a pine frame, and Moroccan floor couches sit lowest of all. Filters narrow the list by type, layout, thickness, pattern, color and fabric. The made-to-measure side starts with Arabic majlis sofa sets.

Build and seat height are the two choices that separate the families most clearly.

Seat depth differs as well, at about 27.5 in (70 cm) on floor sofa sets and about 29.5 in (75 cm) on custom and raised majlis. Where someone at home finds the floor hard to leave, I go no lower than 12 in (30 cm). A classic low room or a prayer room sits well at 4 in (10 cm) or 8 in (20 cm).

Color, seat height and length change on most designs, while a few models keep fixed module sizes. Solid colors are picked by number from a fabric color card. A set can be made in a shade not yet photographed. Seat depth can drop to about 19.5 in (50 cm)–23.5 in (60 cm) for a narrow room. On request, it can grow to about 33.5 in (85 cm). Every change is cut into the foam and the cover together. A cover should fit the foam the way a good jacket fits the shoulders.

• Each seat piece stops at about 75 in (190 cm), so a longer wall is split into two or more cushions
• Some velvet and patterned models come only in standard 75 in (190 cm) modules with fixed backrest shapes
• Custom layouts add cut-to-length seats and small filler pieces, so each wall is filled without gaps
• Most designs can be built with or without a wooden base and backrests

Besides seating, we supply matching rugs, curtains and table sets, so one order can dress the whole room. Rugs are flat-woven in a kilim style rather than deep pile. Stock rugs run from 31.5 × 79 in (80 × 200 cm) up to 79 × 118 in (200 × 300 cm), though not every size comes in every design. Rugs can also be made to the size of a room, or ordered without any seating.

Turkish mosaic lamps, in table, floor and hanging designs, sit in the same catalog. Curtains are made to measure for each window, either floor-length or to backrest height.

Measure each wall from corner to corner, then compare it with the seat lengths in the design. I always ask for those wall lengths before anyone talks about fabric. One seat cushion of 75 in (190 cm) seats two to three people. A longer wall is split into equal cushions, which keeps the pattern aligned and lets each piece be vacuum-packed.

Doors, radiators and low windows decide where a run can stop, so mark them on your sketch before you choose a layout.

Buyers tend to notice the covers first: the seams, the zippers and the pattern lining up across pieces. The seat foam is firm to medium-firm, and softer or firmer filling can be requested.

Ask us for a design consultation — we can talk through your room on a video call. A custom majlis is quoted from the total running length of seating, the model, the seat height and the build. Custom orders start with a layout plan for your approval. Production time depends on your layout and the season — ask us for the current schedule. Custom orders are photographed and filmed for your approval before they ship. Our majlis and floor seating are cut, sewn and finished in Istanbul, as our atelier story explains, while Moroccan-style covers are handmade in Morocco.

Custom majlis are cut to each wall as a single run, an L or a U, while floor sofa sets come as 10, 14 or 19 pieces for one, two or three walls. Sedir benches come in sets of one, two or three benches, and Moroccan floor couches in four set lengths.

Floor sofa sets, sedir benches and Moroccan floor couches are all about 27.5 in (70 cm) deep, while custom and raised majlis seats are about 29.5 in (75 cm) deep. A custom majlis can also be made shallower or deeper on request, so note the depth you want next to your wall lengths.

The Sedir Bench line sits firmer than our all-foam sets, which is why it is a common choice for cafés and restaurants. Foam floor sofa sets and custom majlis are firm to medium-firm, and softer or firmer filling can be requested when you order.
