Aurora Emerald Core Apple Sculpture

Designed by Restorator and Artist Derya Kurdoğlu
The Aurora Emerald Core Apple Sculpture is a small but striking decor piece designed to bring a sense of refined symbolism to desks, consoles and shelves. Created for Dea’rt Istanbul by artist and restorer Derya Kurdoğlu, the sculpture features a platinum toned cast metal apple outline raised on a glossy black glass cube.

Resting inside the open apple form are deep green natural stones, like a cluster of glowing seeds at the heart of the fruit. With its compact 19 × 7 cm profile and 7 × 7 cm base, Aurora is perfectly sized for workspaces, bedside tables, reception counters and styled gift corners.

Inspiration – Knowledge, Prosperity and Everyday Rituals
Apples have long been symbols of wisdom, learning and abundance. Kurdoğlu translated these ideas into a contemporary object that feels both minimal and meaningful: an abstract apple frame, slightly textured as if shaped by hand, holding a handful of emerald toned stones.

The platinum metal suggests clarity and focus, while the green cores evoke growth, renewal and prosperity. Placed on a desk, Aurora becomes a quiet reminder of ideas taking root; on a console or shelf, it represents gratitude, generosity and the sweetness of everyday rituals shared at home.

Effortless Concept Styling
The Aurora Emerald Core Apple Sculpture is designed to style easily across modern, minimalist, corporate and boutique interiors.

Place it on a work desk beside a notebook and pen tray as a symbol of creativity and learning.
On a console, stack it on books for a gallery inspired vignette, paired with a candle and a small vase.
In kitchens, cafés or dining nooks it becomes a chic nod to food, harvest and hospitality.
It also works beautifully as a teacher gift, graduation present or corporate award style object for achievements and milestones.

The black glass base grounds the piece, while the platinum and emerald palette mixes effortlessly with wood, marble, monochrome schemes and metallic accents.

Artistic Notes
Each Aurora Emerald Core Apple Sculpture is cast, assembled and detailed by hand, so minor variations in metal texture, stone shape and placement are natural and intentional. These subtle differences ensure every piece feels like a unique studio artwork rather than a uniform souvenir. Over time, Aurora can become a personal talisman on your desk or shelf – a quiet symbol of knowledge gained, projects completed and intentions set for the future.
