His Biggest Dream is to Open Tombac Exhibition
His works differs according to the order he took, says
Kaya Kalaycı. And thus he headed towards the enlightening
objects in this period. Kalaycı says there was
nothing he couldn’t do if it’s metal and he says to his
designers and architects “You imagine and I will do”.
Of course he can do whatever his architects want but
we ask about what lied in his heart, what his biggest
dream was. Kaya Kalaycı answers our question sincerely;
“My biggest dream is to open a tombac exhibition.
Hayrunnisa Hanım 11 (he means the wife of President
Gul) has a great interest fort his subject, thank her.
Their appreciation couraged me actually. There are candleholders
i did for her. I did a serial for them comprised
of sakızlıks 12 , covered shallow frying-pans, henna trays,
incensory, gulabdan 13 , coffee pots. With their support i
want to open an exhibition if fate so decrees.”
In the showroom, Kalaycı shows us one of the tombacs
he did for Hayrunnisa Hanım. “I maket he copper,
my wife and daughter make he golden parts.
Dealing with golden requires being so patient that
even my patience isn’t enough for this (he laughes).
It’s made with hands. By rendering gold into very
small state, we cover tombacs with leafy gold. It’s a
little costly” he says.
