The Dimare atelier
A family craft, shaped for your space.
Based in Antalya, we bring handwoven texture to décor and shade. Mediterranean light, a family tradition of making and the character of each space guide our work.
The character of a piece begins with the hands that make it and the space it will belong to.
Where the Mediterranean meets the making.
Along the Mediterranean, light and shadow are part of how a space feels. In Antalya, this balance inspires our approach to open patterns, tactile surfaces and the soft movement of fringe.
Can founded Dimare, building on a craft tradition begun by his mother and sister. That family knowledge remains part of the work as we develop pieces for hotels, architectural projects and private homes.
The people behind the work
Family knowledge, shared through making.
Can’s mother and sister bring their craft knowledge to production, quality and workshop coordination. Can leads the business, client relationships and the development of Dimare.
The atelier is also a place of everyday teamwork: hands shaping a pattern, pieces being prepared for packing, and details coming together on site. Our photographs offer a glimpse of the people and practical work behind the finished designs.
From a length of cord to a considered piece.
Macramé, handweaving and crochet bring different rhythms to our work. The spacing of knots, the density of a surface and the fall of a fringe change how a piece catches the light.
A close view reveals the decisions within the making: where a pattern opens, how an edge is finished, how separate elements come together. These details give handwork its presence in a room or an outdoor setting.
Moments from the making
Handwork, workshop moments, packing and installation: a closer look at the work between an idea and its place in a space.
Taking shape on site. The fall and spacing of the strands are adjusted within the frame.
Built one stitch at a time. The close view reveals the rhythm and texture of the handwork.
Colour meets texture. Stitch, edge and scale all contribute to the character of a piece.
Preparing the finished piece for its next setting, with the textile folded and wrapped for packing.
Between stages of a site visit: the people, materials and setting behind the finished photographs.
From a separate panel to part of the architecture. The placement is resolved against the existing frame.
Working at the surface. Loose fibre, rope and colour bring depth to a wall composition.
Seeing the composition together. Panels are laid out so that colour, proportion and placement can be considered in the space.
The knot as a construction detail. Length, spacing and attachment come together during fitting.
Adjustments at full scale, where a woven detail meets its supporting structure.
A shared craft practice. Hands-on work continues through the details of the installation.
Working with the site. Rope, supports and the surrounding space are considered together.
The people behind a site day. Making and installation bring a team into the same space.
An overhead layer of texture. The open weave changes how light is seen from beneath.
The finished form after dark: a sculptural palm silhouette, shaped by fringe and light.
Finishing at the edge. The way a textile meets an opening is part of its final expression.
The supporting setting matters too. Fitting a piece means considering its frame and the surrounding architecture.
A composition fitted around the architecture, following the line of the mirror and its setting.
Attention at the point of contact. Small fitting details are worked through by hand.
Assembling a larger composition. Individual elements gain their rhythm through spacing and arrangement.
From the worktable to full scale. Opening the textile reveals the pattern, edge and overall proportion.
The final arrangement in place. Repeated forms and fringe create a continuous decorative surface.
Exploring the language of fibre. Line, colour and relief extend the craft into a wall composition.
What guides a commission
01
Material for the setting
We discuss the intended location, exposure and care needs before agreeing the material. The specification belongs to the particular piece and its use.
02
Proportion and colour
Dimensions, palette and pattern are considered alongside the architecture, so the piece has a clear relationship with the space around it.
03
Attention in the handwork
Knot, surface and finishing details shape the design. Close attention to these elements carries an idea from the first pattern into the finished piece.
04
A planned handover
Packing, delivery and any installation requirements form part of the conversation. Timing and responsibilities are agreed for the scope of each commission.
From your brief to the finished piece
- 01
Share the setting
Send photographs or drawings, dimensions, quantities and your intended use. Tell us the atmosphere you have in mind and the timing of your project.
- 02
Shape the proposal
Together we define the design direction, material, colour and scale. The proposal sets out the agreed scope, price and timing; sample needs can be discussed at this stage.
- 03
Make and hand over
With the details approved, the work moves into making and preparation for delivery. Packing, care information and any installation arrangements are coordinated for the agreed piece.
Tell us about the space you are creating.
For a hotel, an architectural brief or a private home, a few images and dimensions are a good place to begin. We can explore an existing design or a piece developed around your space.
