Sam Seagate: Today, we’re excited to welcome Birkan Ulusoy, the visionary founder behind DOCIMIUM, a brand that’s redefining luxury home décor with timeless marble pieces. Birkan, thank you for joining us. Can you tell us a bit about the inspiration behind DOCIMIUM?
Birkan Ulusoy: Thank you for having me. DOCIMIUM was born out of a deep appreciation for natural materials and a desire to bring the beauty of ancient craftsmanship into modern homes. The name itself is inspired by Docimium, an ancient city known for its exquisite marble. Our goal is to honor that legacy by creating pieces that are both functional and artful, blending the rich history of marble with contemporary design.
SS: Marble has been a symbol of luxury and durability for centuries. What makes DOCIMIUM’s approach to marble unique?
BU: At DOCIMIUM, we view marble as more than just a material—it’s a storyteller. Each piece of marble we use has its own unique history, formed over millions of years. We’re committed to preserving the natural beauty of the stone while also pushing the boundaries of design. Our approach combines traditional craftsmanship with innovative techniques, allowing us to create pieces that are both timeless and distinctly modern. We also focus on sustainability, ensuring that our sourcing and production processes respect the environment.
SS: That’s fascinating. How does DOCIMIUM integrate sustainability into its practices?
BU: Sustainability is at the core of what we do. We carefully select our marble from quarries that adhere to environmentally friendly practices, and we work closely with artisans who share our commitment to minimizing waste. Additionally, by focusing on creating pieces that are built to last, we’re advocating for a more mindful approach to consumption. Our products are designed to be heirlooms, something that can be passed down through generations, which naturally reduces the need for frequent replacements.
SS: It’s clear that there’s a lot of thought and care behind each piece. What can we expect from DOCIMIUM in the future?
BU: We’re always exploring new ways to innovate within the realm of marble design. In the near future, we plan to expand our product range to include more bespoke items, allowing our customers to be more involved in the design process. We’re also looking at collaborations with artists and designers who share our passion for quality and sustainability. Ultimately, our mission is to continue creating pieces that inspire and elevate the spaces they inhabit.
SS: It sounds like DOCIMIUM is poised to make a significant impact in the world of luxury home décor. Before we wrap up, is there any message you’d like to share with our readers?
BU: I’d just like to encourage everyone to surround themselves with pieces that resonate on a deeper level—objects that tell a story, that connect us to the natural world. At DOCIMIUM, we’re passionate about creating more than just beautiful designs; we’re crafting experiences that bring the essence of nature into your home. Thank you for the opportunity to share our journey with your readers.
SS: Thank you, Birkan. It’s been a pleasure learning about DOCIMIUM and your vision for the brand. We can’t wait to see what’s next!
