Constantinople, the current Istanbul, in the heart of the former Ottoman Empire, separates Europe from the Arab world. A city in the heart of an Empire like the synthesis of two worlds only separated by the Mediterranean and the Black Sea. Fascinated by Ottoman art, Sener Besim now makes eyeglasses inspired by arabesques, mosaics of mosques and temples, these geometric shapes that repeat endlessly and rise to the heavens. With their round shapes, curved lines and purified to the extreme, the glassesSener Besim say everything about the passion that the creator has for the majestic domes built by the faith of men.

The creator born of Albanian and Turkish parents, works with this idea of lightness, seeking harmony between light and shadow, with the avowed aim of reaching a "metaphysical" feeling.

Glasses produced in Japan, and only two hundred pairs per season, that Sener Besim summarizes with this formula: "youth, freedom and design meet tradition, form and technical excellence".
