In Turkish, artık means both leftover and from now on. ARTIK is a system of functional wall objects made by hand from oak, walnut and Aegean olive-wood offcuts. Three woods, three roles, one line running across the wall.
Oak carries. Walnut draws. Olive is touched.
One 6 mm walnut lamination on every piece, always horizontal, one third from the top. Hung together, the lines align like a datum across the wall.
Each wall piece stands 12 mm proud on a hidden oak French cleat and casts a crisp shadow line. No screws in sight.
Flat faces, a 2 mm hand-planed 45° chamfer on every outer edge, backs undercut 5° so each piece reads thinner than it is.
Every dimension steps in 60 mm, matching common offcut widths. Pieces combine on one rail and the jigs stay few.
Pegs, pulls and dish bottoms only. Small olive pieces become the most precious part of each object and darken with use.
The Seljuk craft of interlocking panels without nails or glue, stripped to one repeated module in oak with walnut keys.
Structure, rails, frames and cleats. Pale, open-grained, finished in matte hardwax oil.
Used once per object as a single dark line, and as the keys in the lattice pieces.
Dense, oily, wildly figured. Reserved for the points the hand meets. Waxed, never varnished.
