Bodrum Port Large Plate - Handmade Coastal Mediterranean Ceramics

Origin and Materials

Fern&Co was born in Istanbul from the encounter between Turkish artisan tradition and the inspiration of California's Muir Woods forests. We work with carefully selected materials: high-fired porcelain crafted in Anatolia known for its exceptional durability, premium melamine that combines strength and design, and natural textiles like European linen of the highest quality. Each material reflects a philosophy where functionality and beauty coexist naturally.

Artisan Process

Our pieces are created by Turkish artisans who inherit techniques passed down through generations. Porcelain undergoes high-temperature firing processes that guarantee its resistance, while textiles are crafted in specialized workshops that master ancestral embroidery and weaving techniques. The distinctive watercolor technique that characterizes our collections is applied to both porcelain and melamine, creating unique gradients where colors flow naturally, evoking Mediterranean landscapes and ancient forests. Each stroke is unrepeatable.

Exclusive Design

Each collection is produced in limited editions to preserve its artisanal character. Watercolor patterns and hand-finished details ensure no two pieces are exactly alike. Your tableware or textile isn't just functional: it's a collectible piece that reflects the cultural fusion between Anatolia and cosmopolitan Californian design. Pieces that become more precious over time.

Why Choose Fern&Co

When you choose a Fern&Co piece, you're investing in artisanship that tells stories. Each object celebrates the philosophy of living well, where luxury lives in everyday details. Pieces designed to accompany you for years, improving with time and the memories they create at your table.
