Fuar İzmir: İzmir's New Fair Complex!
The opening of Fuar İzmir marked a new era in İzmir's history as the center of exhibitions, fairs and events in the Mediterranean and Aegean regions. The new Fuar İzmir Complex opened its doors with Marble 2015. The Provocative Marble Technology by Ay Kardeşler Co. definitely made the fair event very worthwhile for all exhibitors.

The exhibition booth of Ay Kardeşler Co., which featured the fantastic examples of backlit translucent-cut marbles with a provocative stage dance show, attracted a big deal of attention from exhibitors and visitors. Stating that they were not surprised by the visitors' attention and curiosuty, company executive İskender Burukhamzaoğlu added: “We have been exhibiting our products in İzmir for years and we are again here because we know that this city is Turkey's door to overseas markets. This year, the provocative marble technology created by marble experts at our Bursa quarries and factories attracted a huge interest thanks to the fantastic provocative stage show. We created an excellent vibe in year's Marble Fair in İzmir.”

Burukhamzaoğlu said “We were thinking about "extending the marble canon" to include new applications, concepts and usage, so we focused on fancy marble applications to reflect its role in interior decoration. To do this, we emphasized the translucency and provocative nature of marble. We created the backlit translucent beige marble thanks to our extensive know-how in the marble industry. The new usage of marble has become the center of focus in this year's Fair. Both the visitors and exhibitors expressed their appreciation and affection. I can say that the provocative use of marble textures impressed the interior architects and the representatives of the construction industry” and added that they targeted to take marble to the next level... beyond that of a material used solely for flooring purposes and gravestones.

Marble in the Bedroom!
The provocative marble technology is based on covering the interior walls with illuminated ultra-fine translucent marble slabs. Compared with conventional marble applications, it offers a fantastic visual experience and is set to become a bedroom fixture in the years to come.

This is how Michaelangelo saw Marble!
According to Burukhamzaoğlu, Michaelangelo saw marble just like they did. He said, "We want to make life more entertaining and colorful. We looked at marble from a different perspective and tried to understand what Michaelangelo felt when working with blocks of marble. So, we breathed soul into the marble to expose the provocative face of marble. Yes, marble has a face, and it is not necessarily a cold one!”
