Because every flower tells a story

'NOSTOS,' meaning 'return to home' in Ancient Greek, captures the deep yearning to reconnect with special moments, memories and emotions. It's more than a physical return, it's a journey back to what truly matters.

At NOSTOS, we believe flowers are not just nature’s beauty; they are the storytellers of our lives. Each bloom holds memories, emotions, and fragments of time. Through the art of pressing and preserving flowers, we transform fleeting moments into timeless keepsakes.

Our founders, Gokce & Sanem, created NOSTOS to help you return home, home to love, nostalgia, and the beauty of life’s meaningful memories. With every piece, we honor the stories that make us who we are, keeping them alive forever.

Meet Our Founders

Some stories are written in words, but this one began with petals and memories. Lifelong friends Sanem Balkan Kok and Gökçe Sürmen, with over a decade of combined experience working with global companies, transformed their creativity and love for art into something timeless.

In 2024, NOSTOS was born. Its name inspired by the Ancient Greek word for “return to home.” This reflects a deep connection to emotions, memories, and the beauty of fleeting moments.

Blending their professional expertise with a passion for meaningful creations, Sanem and Gokce curate art pieces that range from delicate pressed flowers to timeless designs beyond nature. Each piece tells a story, preserving what matters most and bringing beauty into everyday life.

“We are not here to sell art pieces; we are here to preserve the stories that bring you home”
