SALT’s activities are distributed between two landmark buildings.
The first building, SALT Beyoglu, is on the pedestrian street Istiklal Caddesi. SALT Beyoglu’s interiors are mostly occupied by exhibition and event spaces. The second building, SALT Galata, is the former 19th century Imperial Ottoman Bank headquarters designed by Alexandre Vallaury. SALT Galata houses a specialized public library and archive; spaces dedicated to research, workshops, exhibitions and a conference hall; as well as the Ottoman Bank Museum.

The signage elements were developed taking the cultural and visual legacy
of Istiklal Caddesi (Pera) as inspiration for circulation and display of programmatic information throughout the building.

SALT Beyoglu hosts 1130 square meters of exhibition space on three levels. Acting as an interface between the institution and the street is the Forum, SALT Beyoglu’s entry space.

The typeface, Kraliçe, which was created by type designer Timo Gaessner for Project Projects which was commissioned for the visual identity design if SALT.

Primitive cuisine by Caroline Sallé in “Le Figaro et vous” – October 14th, 2010
“They feel as almost wild, as if picked up directly from the ground, tainted by the sun and hardly carved. Simple “Toolives” kitchen utensils from designer Koray Ozgen have been designed from wood collected from pruned branches of Olives trees from the Aegean shores of Anatolia. Salad servers, cooking brushes, spatulas and appetizer bowls are unique pieces that came to life and thus saving precious branches
from ending up in ashes. Tasteful recycling.”

Cuisine primitive par Caroline Sallé dans “Le Figaro et vous” – 14 octobre 2010
“On les croirait presque sauvages, comme ramassés à même le sol, patinés au soleil, à peine taillés. Simplissimes, les ustensiles de cuisine “Toolives” du designer Koray Ozgen ont été conçus à partir de bois récupéré lors de l’élagage d’oliviers de la côte égéenne d’Anatolie. Couverts à salade, pinceaux à graisser, spatules et bol apéritif sont autant de pièces uniques qui ont permis aux précieuses branches de en pas finir en fumée. Le recyclage a décidément du bon.”
