CRAFTSMANSHIP Industrial capability is the foundation. Craftsmanship is the difference. Sagist maintains a dedicated classic atelier inside the manufacturing complex — a separate workshop staffed by master craftsmen trained in the European tradition. Here, hand carving, water gilding to twenty-three carat, gesso work, marquetry, parquetry, ormolu chasing, French polishing and eight-way hand-tied upholstery are produced at benches that machines do not touch. The classic atelier is where royal commissions are made, where heritage hotel restorations are reproduced to museum standard, and where the most demanding private collector pieces are detailed. The work is referenced to original eighteenth and nineteenth-century inventories, English Georgian and Regency pattern books, Empire archives and the Art Deco masters. We have built and held the craft because the tradition demands it.

GLOBAL FOOTPRINT

THE WAY WE WORK
Every Sagist commission is assigned a single named project director on day one — not a shared inbox, not a rotating team, not a third-party distributor. The director remains with the commission from the first brief to the final installed lamp, and is the named point of contact for the principal, the architect, the interior design studio, the heritage consultant or the procurement team for the duration of the work. The director's name appears on every drawing, every sample sign-off, every shipping manifest and every installation document.
Our process is structured in six stages — Brief, Design, Sample, Manufacture, Ship and Install — and the same structure runs across every collection from a five-key boutique hotel to a forty-villa estate to a royal restoration commission. The stages do not compress. The work is the work. Where speed matters — a soft-opening calendar, a lease handover, a pre-opening service date — we run programmes in parallel rather than shorten the work itself.

Confidentiality is contractual. Royal, state, embassy, principal villa and private collector commissions are held under NDA from the first drawing forward. No commission is photographed for publication without explicit written consent. Where consent is granted, the work may appear in our catalogs, our project portfolio or a private case study; where consent is not granted, the work is anonymised or excluded entirely. We have learned that the clients who care most about discretion are the clients who matter most to our reputation.

 
Vertical integration as discipline We make our principal work ourselves. The piece does not pass through a hand outside our own until it is set in the client's room.
The named director, not the inbox Every commission has a named project director from day one to handover. We do not route principal clients through a sales pipeline.
Confidentiality as contract Royal, state, embassy and private commissions are held under NDA. We do not publish, repeat or reference private designs across other clients.
The work is the work Hand-built and master-grade work is not compressed for marketing convenience. The time the work takes is the time the work deserves.
Repeat clients over new logos Most of our principal commissions come from repeat clients and the architects who have worked with us before. We measure success in second commissions.
Aggressive about expansion, conservative about quality We expand into new geographies, new flagship showrooms and new capital partnerships without compromising the manufacturing standards that earned them.
Sagist Group recently secured a one hundred and eighty-three million US dollar capital influx from leading UAE investors — a transaction structured under the leadership of Chairman Metin Durmaz and intended to fund the group's next decade of global expansion. The capital programme is directed at three priorities: flagship showroom deployment in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, expansion of the principal manufacturing complex in Istanbul, and capacity build-out in the classic atelier for royal and heritage commissions.
The investment positions Sagist as a global "safe haven" for development capital — a vertically integrated manufacturer with sovereign-grade client references, multi-decade operational history, and a financially backed expansion programme aligned with the largest luxury real estate cycles in the Gulf, Eastern Europe, the Caribbean and Western Europe. We invite long-term capital, project partnerships and royal, state and HNW commissions through Chairman Durmaz's office directly.
Sagist Group employs more than two hundred craftsmen, designers, engineers, project directors and installation team members across our Istanbul ateliers and twenty-three countries of direct operation. We recruit at the bench — master carvers, gilders, marqueteurs, upholsterers, joiners and metalworkers trained in the European tradition — and we hold our craftsmen across long careers, because the work takes a working lifetime to master. We also recruit at the drawing board, at the project director's desk and at the manufacturing floor's engineering stations, and we accept applications for principal positions from architects, interior designers, master craftsmen and project directors with international hospitality, residential and royal commission experience.
Sagist commissions are taken through a small number of named directors, each responsible for a segment or a geography. Initial enquiries are reviewed within one working day. A scoping note, a preliminary programme and a private meeting at the Istanbul atelier or at your address are arranged within the following working day. FAQ
