Born in Istanbul, Turkey, Sibel Mermelstein along with her partner JC from South America, bring a sense of the exotic as well as the discipline and the reserve of the conservative middle eastern and south american aesthetic. Educated in New York City but having lived in many metropolitan capitals, Sibel and JC endow their creations with sophistication and an elegance that is hard to match. Firm believers in naturalist sensibility, they embrace an approach that lets foliage speak for itself with gentle structure of their sophistication to inform it.
