Introducing The Levant Shop
The Levant Shop is a new homeware label that pays homage to the rich design heritage of the Levant region, encompassing countries such as Lebanon, Syria, Israel, Jordan, and Turkey. Founded by Süreya Köprülü and Naz Muessel, The Levant Shop is a celebration of artisanal traditions and craftsmanship that have been passed down through generations.
Discovering the Levantine Cultures
As New York City natives with roots in the Levant region, Köprülü and Muessel were drawn to the deep-rooted cultures and traditions of their heritage. Their shared passion for Middle Eastern aesthetics and storytelling led them to create The Levant Shop as a platform to showcase a unique perspective on the region.
Handcrafted Treasures from Across the Levant
On The Levant Shop’s website, you’ll find a curated collection of hand-made homeware items sourced from artisans in Lebanon and Turkey. From the Artemis collection of linens adorned with hammered silver embroidery to the Calligraphy collection of glazed terracotta plates, each piece reflects centuries-old techniques and designs.
Artistry and Collaboration
The design process at The Levant Shop is a collaborative effort between the founders and the artisans. Each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, drawing inspiration from historic methods and patterns. The result is a harmonious blend of textures and colors that seamlessly merge tradition with modern aesthetics.
Exploring and Documenting
Throughout their journey to find and collaborate with artisans, Köprülü and Muessel have documented their experiences and discoveries. From sourcing artisans through Instagram to uncovering hidden gems in Lebanese and Turkish villages, their dedication to preserving and sharing the stories behind each piece is evident in every product.
Celebrating the Levantine Spirit
The Levant Shop is more than just a homeware label—it’s a celebration of the beauty, craftsmanship, and heritage of the Levant region. With a commitment to authenticity and storytelling, Köprülü and Muessel invite you to explore their collection and experience the magic of the Levant in your own home.
