Based in Istanbul, Gaia & Gino offers housewares that are a thoughtful combination of arty construction and forward-thinking utility. Since 2004, its founder, Gaye Cevikel, has been petitioning the international design community (including luminaries Karim Rashid and Richie Tanaka) to create unique, organic home accessories, from dual-sided wine glasses to calligraphy-inspired bud vases. With several design awards under their belt, Gaia & Gino’s products are recognized the world over and sold exclusively in cutting-edge boutiques.
