Common Muse developed a textiles collection inspired by Minas Avramidis (1877–1954), a master ceramic artist from Kütahya, a historic town in western Anatolia known for its centuries-old ceramic heritage. Avramidis, a prominent member of the Armenian community, played a key role in preserving traditional Ottoman-era tile and pottery techniques during a time of significant cultural change.

His work is distinguished by detailed geometric patterns, bold color schemes, and motifs deeply rooted in Ottoman and Anatolian art traditions. These designs reflect both artistic precision and the rich cultural narrative of the region.

In this collection, we reinterpret Avramidis’s ceramic patterns into textile designs, transforming historic tile art into fabrics suited for everyday products like home goods and accessories. Our goal is to connect past, present, and future by translating ceramic craftsmanship into contemporary textiles that honor and carry forward this artistic legacy.

By blending traditional motifs with modern materials and techniques, the Minas Avramidis collection offers a meaningful way to engage with Anatolia’s ceramic history through products that are both functional and culturally significant.
