Location
Istanbul, Turkiye
A historical form reimagined for play and learning.
Exclusively designed for the Pera Museum Shop, this bespoke crayon collection draws inspiration from the dirhem — a traditional Ottoman unit of weight. Referencing its iconic circular form, the crayons offer a contemporary take on historical precision, transformed into a playful, hands-on tool for creativity.
The set includes a custom-made case that invites children to sort, place, and interact with each crayon intuitively—making the act of storing as engaging as drawing itself. Measure and Scale introduces young minds to cultural heritage through form, color, and imaginative play.
A unique design object crafted where history meets creativity.
