Alper Nakri Founder

Growing up, I used to build toys like swords and trains with the neighborhood carpenter's leftover wood at our summer house in Buyukada, Istanbul.

From an early age, I have always known that I was destined to ‘create’. Trained as a visual designer. I Worked for global clients such as National Geographic and Discovery Channel. I was nominated for an Emmy Award for one of my works for History Channel. Shortly after that, I was honored to be ‘a role model and an inspirational leader’ by ‘Bugun Gunlerden Yarin’ (‘Today Is Tomorrow’) initiative and delivered a motivational speech for 800 college students. In the same year, I received ‘Best Motion Graphics Award’ with my team in Adobe Creative Jam. Recently honored by American society of interior Designers  Best Innovative Lighting Design.

Aside from my career in motion graphics design, I always loved making things by hand. There is an incomparable sense of gratification that comes with it. I created my first brand ‘The Lamps’ with custom designed handmade furniture uniquely made in my studio. In 2015, I was featured in Elle Decoration Magazine as one of the ’10 designers that shape the future’.

Thanks to my involvement in the entertainment industry and my natural born curiosity to discover nature through my own lens of visual aesthetics, i travel around the world and get inspired by the overlaps between traditional methods of enhancing functionality and cutting-edge design innovations that speak to nature in unique ways.

I’m deeply fascinated by the fact that something I create lives another life in someone else's physical space.This feeling helped me realize that making objects was my way of touching other people’s lives. My pieces are timeless stories that re-tell themselves in spaces that welcome them.

I’ve been working in my own studio AN Los Angeles, designing custom furniture,Art pieces that tells stories and touches people’s lives.
