Matters of the Heart in Vikings
Between the 8th and 11th centuries, the Vikings, a warrior community that conquered many places in northwestern Europe, used the Runic alphabet, which means Futhark or secret, which represents celestial life in Scandinavian mythology. In the Runic alphabet, it is a symbol formed by the combination of the letters 'Ahn-sooz', which represents the chief god Odin, communication and spiritual power, and the letters 'Ing-wahz', which represent abundance, peace and energy. It symbolizes the power and greatness of love. It was frequently used on gifts that Vikings gave to their wives.
Question: If you are one of those who still can't find love, we suggest you take inspiration from the Vikings who were in war and savagery in icy countries. To love or not to love... Isn't that the question?
Orbis
The corners of the circle….
There are no linear lines or corners in nature… Perhaps this is why we have been fond of circular forms since our existence, because humans have developed by observing and imitating nature.
The source of everything, the sun, is round and radiates circular light… When you throw a stone into water, circles form… The sprouts of many plants grow by opening from a circular spiral… When people hold hands, they naturally form a circle… Maybe that’s why Göbeklitepe or Stonehenge, which is 12 thousand years old, is circular. The first thing that set humanity into motion; the wheel, is also circular. And just like our world that is constantly spinning, our eyes, which we perceive everything in the world, are also round… We all started our lives in our mother’s round belly, and maybe that’s why we pulled our feet up to our belly and rolled like a ball whenever we were scared or wanted to relax. Circles were always with us. When we end a sentence, in a raindrop, in the trunk of a tree, in the planets and stars shining in the sky, in the center of a flower or in the center of a person’s belly button…
Mesele, which adds meaning to objects with symbols, has been going around for 10 years and decided to make a new start with the ancestor of basic forms, the round. It has created a very special collection under the name Orbis, which means sphere in Latin and also expresses our eye with which we perceive the globe. A brand new story begins at the center of the eye and all other round symbols born on these lands… The world is turning no matter what you say, everything we come around is a MESELE…
