Once a Spice Shop, always a Spice Shop?
Well, we still are a Spice Shop, but nowadays we are so much more!

We have taken traditional Eastern Mediterranean / Middle Eastern Cuisine and given it a makeover to fit the needs of the fast paced lifestyle of today’s Istanbul.
Regardless of whether you dine in one of our dashing cafes, or shop from our market, or have the goodies delivered directly to your doorstep - get ready for a dining experience that is rich in taste as well as good nutrition since it has been created entirely out of organic products grown in season, locally.
Tekir Efendi, one of the most respected merchants of the old Istanbul Spice Market, sets sail to contemporary lifestyles through a diverse range of products and services catering to the needs and tastes of an urban chic clientele!
Our land is renowned for high quality cotton, linen and wool farming. We have entered collaborations with some of Turkey’s best known textile manufacturers to create our own line of home textiles, covering a wide range of items from bed linen to towels, rugs, dining accessories, and much more.
We are also collaborating with ceramic, wood, metal and glass artists and collectives to bring forth our own lines of tableware, kitchenware and unique home accessories that take their inspirations from the traditional crafts of Anatolia which our artists and designers combine with the streamlined tastes and needs of contemporary urban lifestyles.

But now also Dashing Hangouts, Food, Clothing, Household Products and much much more!

Circular / Amorphous Visuals
If you want to use circular images the only way in which you can really do that is with the crop tool - the actual frame preset will only give you a perfect circle if the image itself is a perfect square. Otherwise you will get ellipses, and my advice in general is to avoid ellipses unless you are making a very old fashioned design.

Using wide and narrow visuals
Since browsers are horizontal narrow display mechanisms, it makes a lot of sense to use the visual material placed inside a webpage in a horizontal narrow format as well. You would obviously need to have material that lends itself to such crops, however these are not too hard to find since this approach of embedding visuals into web content is quite widely used. Below I am showing you several examples, the first 2 with images and the other 2 with videos, one each aligned with the text columns, and the others stretched to the edge of the center page.
Again, when we embed these inside a text flow the space we leave from the top and bottom should be roughly that of a paragraph break space, and not more, so that we do not break the text flow.
