HARE is a conceptual collection of contemporary hammam elements, consisting of a sculptural kurna and a circular göbek taşı.

The collection explores the contrast between the visual softness of folded fabric and the permanence of natural stone. Flowing, layered forms are carved into warm ivory marble, creating the impression that the material is gathering, folding and falling around each object.

Rather than reproducing traditional Ottoman ornamentation directly, the project reinterprets the ceremonial character of the hammam through proportion, material and atmosphere. The sculptural marble forms are paired with aged bronze surfaces and warm, directional lighting, creating an interior language that feels both historic and contemporary.

The kurna functions as a focal object within an intimate bathing niche, while the göbek taşı becomes the central element of the space monumental, tactile and designed to be experienced from every direction.
