BALIKESİR, Turkey - February 2025 - Designer Okan Ovacık's Firefly Dinner Set, handcrafted in Ayvalık and blending modern functionality with nostalgic artistry, has been awarded the Iron A' Design Award in the Bakeware, Tableware, Drinkware and Cookware category for 2025, recognizing its unique approach to spectacular table presentation and sustainable production.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Okan Ovacık's Firefly Dinner Set redefines the art of dining by merging traditional handcraft with contemporary design sensibilities. Developed over eight months in the Monte Porcelain Ayvalık workshop, the set features four versatile pieces-a glass, a bowl, a deep plate, and a service plate-each meticulously crafted from high-quality porcelain. The collection stands out for its luminous firefly patterns, which are hand-engraved and glazed to evoke the enchanting dance of fireflies, creating a mesmerizing interplay of light and shadow at the table.
The design process prioritized both aesthetics and functionality. Each piece was cast in custom molds, fired at 1230 degrees, and finished with transparent or colored glazes to ensure food safety and durability. The glass doubles as a dessert bowl, while the bowl's colorful rim and the plate's intricate motifs offer both visual appeal and practical versatility for various courses. The set's handmade nature ensures that every item is unique, reflecting the designer's commitment to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Sustainability and ethical production were central to the Firefly Dinner Set's creation. Ovacık and his team adopted fair production practices, using materials and processes that respect both nature and human health. The dinnerware is dishwasher safe, suitable for food contact, and produced without harming any living creatures. The collection's innovative blend of nostalgia, modernity, and responsible manufacturing earned it the Iron A' Design Award, which honors designs that meet high professional and industrial standards while enhancing everyday experiences.
