Furniture Repair in Istanbul
Under the flat, shadowless glare of Istanbul noon, a street-side furniture repairer balances a heavy, scuffed leather basketball on his knee while his other hand guides a wide chisel along the grain of a wooden chair leg. The workspace is a makeshift stall draped in faded turquoise fabric, where peeling paint flakes onto a dust-covered cutting board scattered with wood shavings and crumbs. Nearby, a red plastic tool caddy sits open, revealing an assortment of metal heads and worn handles. The tactile friction of manual labor against the static heat, with the rough texture of the old ball contrasting sharply against the smooth, sanded wood and the gritty, sun-bleached surroundings of the narrow alleyway.
