From her earliest projects through to her current work, Leyla has preferred to use only bespoke furniture in her interiors, and over time these pieces have become the basis for a large entire interiors collection. The Leyla Uluhanli Collection brand made its debut appearance at the Maison & Objet exhibition in Paris, in 2016. A synthesis of harmony and functionality, all of these furniture pieces are created from natural materials using complex traditional construction methods, such as multiple-layer lacquering, wood-painting, incrustation with semi-precious stones and bronze, and finishings including parchment or galiusha shark-leather. A great deal of attention is devoted to the quality and pattern of the fabrics. The furniture is made in Italy and Portugal, with some elements being produced by Russian craftsmen.

While developing this collection, Leyla was inspired by the Swinging 60s and mid-century modern style. This designer furniture is recognisable for its characteristically smooth lines and unobtrusive classical shapes. This retro aesthetic is achieved with a modern look, which makes it easy to feature this furniture as a design accent in practically any modern interior. The core characteristics of this collection are comfort, functionality and a sophisticated feel achieved by an artful combination of minimalism and precise craftsmanship.
