Meydan Café Bar

When Harun contacted me about Meydan Café Bar, he wasn't simply asking for a sign. He was shaping the identity of his new place. The kitchen is described as "Anatolian cuisine with Canarian influences," and Harun wanted the sign to reflect that same balance: something international, casual, and welcoming, especially for his German clientele, without presenting itself as simply a Turkish restaurant.

We started with a conversation, not about fonts or colors, but about the feeling he wanted people to have when they walk past his door. I prepared a few design directions that I felt were strong, but as often happens in creative work, our tastes didn't line up exactly. Harun preferred a more minimalist direction, and that's completely fine. My role isn't to impose. It's to advise, guide, and when the decision is made, to put all my attention on craft and quality.

The result wasn't my taste. It was his vision. But the materials, production quality, and installation carry the same care and standards I bring to every job. For me, that's the work: using my experience to give a client's idea its best possible form.
