What this archive is

Blog is the umbrella archive for the English side of the site: every English article appears here, and the narrower archives are slices of it. Two readerships overlap in this list — people furnishing a workspace, and people researching Türkiye as a place to buy or manufacture furniture. The sections below separate the two.

Choosing and specifying furniture

The general starting points are the office furniture buying guide and how office furniture dimensions are worked out, with twenty-five frequently asked technical questions as a quick reference for the things that come up mid-quotation. Planning at the level above the individual piece is covered in ideal office size and square metres per person and multi-person workstations.

Materials

The material articles are written to be read before quotations are compared, not after the furniture arrives. Materials used in furniture sets out the durability and function trade-offs; MDF, particle board or lacquer and wood species and industrial timber processing go into the panel and solid-wood side. For upholstery, what genuine leather actually means and stain-resistant, pet-friendly, waterproof and fire-retardant fabrics answer the two questions that decide most fabric specifications.

Buying in Türkiye

Several articles exist here because the answer is different from outside the country. The 2026 Türkiye office furniture guide maps Siteler, Masko and Modoko and the production behind them; where to buy office furniture in Ankara and where to open an office in Ankara narrow that to one city. Relocation and shipping between Ankara, Istanbul and Izmir covers moving what you have already bought, and the 2026 fair calendar covers seeing it in person.

Cost, accounting and market context

How inflation feeds into furniture prices, depreciation rates for office furniture and HS codes for export and import deal with the commercial paperwork around a purchase. The first half of 2026 in global and Turkish furniture and e-commerce, showrooms and artificial intelligence supply the market backdrop. Profession-specific fit-outs are grouped under furniture selection by profession, with law offices and clinics treated in detail. The narrower archives split off here: Office Furniture and Ergonomics.
