Leyla Uluhanli debuts her self-titled collection The Leyla Uluhanli
Collection at the 2016 design show Maison & Objet Paris. The
collection is inspired by the concept of American art of the 1960's
— a favorite era of the designer. The principle components of the
collection are comfort, functionality, prestige artfully combining
minimalism and precise craftsmanship.
The collection consists of armchairs, sofas, consoles, commodes
and lighting featuring neutral tones with antique brass, crystal
rock, and sycamore veneer. Balancing tradition and modernity,
Leyla Uluhanli reflects the desire to create an atmosphere that is
refined, eclectic and stylish.
Renowned interior designer Leyla Uluhanli channels inspiration
for her projects from the eclectic nostalgia of different epochs.
She specializes in private and public interiors, stylized in the spirit
of 1960’s American decor using antiques and modern art.
Combining refined artistry, powerful energy and historical cues,
Leyla Uluhanli’s designs offer a reflection of lifestyle in an interior.
Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, Leyla Uluhanli studied design in London
and Moscow. Since opening her studio Leyla Uluhanli Interiors in
2005, she has showcased projects in Moscow, Saint-Petersburg,
Baku, Lisbon, Dubai and London.
“The popularity of this style is in its
simplicity and courtliness of the
forms, lines. In its conciseness, and
partly in the light feeling of nostalgia
it provokes, it is certainly luxury and
absolutely universal”
— Leyla Uluhanli.

architects, and interior and fashion designers to create works
