About Us
22 Maggio Istanbul was founded by Aysegul and Yildirim Orgad who were inspired by their father's passion and expertise in the luxury home decor.
Halit Yildirim ORGAD
Co-Founder & CEO
Growing up, I was surrounded by my father's passion and expertise in the home textile industry. His dedication to craftsmanship and quality inspired me and my sister to create our own brand of luxury homeware.
​
I studied at the University of Bocconi in Milan, Italy, where I immersed myself in the world of design and learned the value of a design-intensive approach. After spending three years in Italy, I returned to Istanbul, Turkey, where I worked in the audit and exhibition industries.
​
However, my desire to create something meaningful and impactful led me to start this brand with my sister. Together, we are committed to crafting high-quality homeware pieces that blend timeless elegance with modern design.
Thank you for choosing our brand and for joining us on this journey. We look forward to bringing a touch of luxury into your home
Aysegul ORGAD
Co-founder
I am thrilled to be one of the co-founders of our family-owned luxury homeware brand.
​
I have always been drawn to the world of media and PR, and I studied PR at Istanbul Commerce University to pursue my passion. I gained valuable experience working in media and PR agencies, but I found myself craving something more fulfilling than the corporate life.
​
That's when my brother and I decided to create our brand, inspired by our father's decades of experience in the home textile industry. We wanted to bring new life to the traditional craftsmanship that is the hallmark of our heritage and infuse it with modern design sensibilities.
​
With our brand, we strive to create exquisite homeware pieces that are both timeless and contemporary, elevating everyday living with their luxurious elegance and sophistication.
​
Thank you for choosing our brand and supporting our vision. We can't wait to share our passion with you and bring a touch of luxury to your home.
