A mihrab, minbar, preaching chair and wall panelling in Marmara homogeneous marble — produced in our factory and installed in the mosque.

Location: Afyonkarahisar
Year: 2023
Stone: Marmara homogeneous marble · dark marble inlay
Production: Cut to size, CNC geometric patterns
Installation: BİEV team, in the mosque

Project

We produced the mihrab, minbar, preaching chair and wall panelling of Sultan Divani Mosque in Afyonkarahisar, all in Marmara homogeneous marble. The fluted niche of the mihrab closes in a small dome; the surrounds on either side carry a geometric star pattern and the panel above bears calligraphy. The minbar's side panel and balustrade continue the same pattern. Every piece was cut and worked in our factory and installed in the mosque.

Scope

From mihrab to panelling, one stone

The mihrab, minbar and chair share the same Marmara homogeneous marble; the geometric pattern ties the three together.
