Journal

A travel diary by the Istanbul-based baker turned jeweler Esra Dandin.

I tend to be very sensitive, and I love the idea of remembering good memories just by casting my eyes on an object. 

These are the starting steps—and concluding parts—I need for the day.

I often think of objects as a way to get close to a lived moment, a space, a person, an aroma.

In general, I believe less is more, but when it comes to books and magazines, I tend to accumulate.

The way I live with objects is the same way I live with ideas, I lean and stack them.
