Living Cult: Innovative Interior and Spatial Design Studio | WeDirectory

Living Cult is an Istanbul-based design studio and curated platform founded in March 2021 by architect and designer Müge Kahraman. The studio focuses on the intersection of architecture, interior design, and product design, aiming to create spaces and objects that authentically reflect the unique identities of their owners. Initially starting as a curation of inspiring interiors, Living Cult has evolved into a comprehensive practice that offers full-service spatial design, personalized concept development, and the creation of bespoke products. One of the studio's hallmark projects is the Baggage Claim collection, featuring mirrors available in various colors like Violet, Champagne, Marine, and Turquoise. These products highlight Living Cult’s commitment to storytelling through design and attention to detail. Müge Kahraman, who holds an MA in Interior and Spatial Design from London, leads the studio with a multidisciplinary approach rooted in her architectural background. Her work has been showcased at prominent events such as Milan Design Week 2025 and Collectible NY 2025. Living Cult works with clients to bring their visions to life, blending functional design with artistic expression. The studio is represented by Mercado Lab in Istanbul and Tuleste Factory in New York.
