Turkish Demirden Design asked the designers to reflect on the deep-seated emotions that emerge over the course of an inner journey, and to use this as a starting point for an installation that would communicate them.

Its symbolic title: "Thus Spoke the Marble, The Journey Alters You" invites visitors on a journey of re-discovery, revealing the narrative qualities of the material. As well as being a perfect location for rest and relaxation, it also intends to be a place of insight, discussion, and meditation. 

The projects exhibited will include a �Marble Rosarium� by Berlin-based architect and designer Werner Aisslinger, a stunning arrangement of marble slabs crafted into the shape of flowers and combined into a playful secret garden space

The exhibition will also hook onto a tradition of over four thousand years, in which Turkish marble from across Anatolia has been the basic material for great works of art and architecture, from classical antiquity to Byzantine, Ottoman and modern times. It will also illustrate the creative revival that has characterized the country in recent years, and its design and architectural scene in particular.
