CHELEBI

During Milan Design Week 2026, CHELEBI presents Tilsim at ALCOVA, created in collaboration with Worn Studio and installed within the historic Villa Casa Delle Suore. The project unfolds as a unified spatial composition where furniture, sculpture, and ritual object converge.
Bringing together ceramic, wood, blown glass, metal, and organic elements, each piece merges distinct materials into singular sculptural forms. Handcrafted using time-honored techniques and assembled through a contemporary lens, the works exist between artifact and design object.
Tilsim reimagines the talisman as a living structure — carrying memory, symbolism, and transformation across time.

CHELEBI is a design brand that reinterprets Azerbaijani artistry through contemporary objects rooted in heritage. Founded by artist and cultural patron Aida Mahmudova, the brand brings together local artisans, contemporary designers, and institutions such as the National Azerbaijan National Museum of Art. Through traditional techniques and natural materials, CHELEBI shapes a modern design language grounded in history
and materiality.
