Founded in March 2021 by Istanbul-based architect and designer Müge Kahraman, Living Cult began as a curatorial platform exploring distinctive spaces, interiors, and objects before introducing its first original products in 2022. Evolving into a multidisciplinary design studio in 2024, the practice now brings together interior, spatial, and collectible product design, creating environments and objects with a strong sense of character.

Rooted in Kahraman’s architectural education, Living Cult approaches design as a continuous exploration across disciplines, bringing together spatial thinking, materiality, color, and storytelling. Rather than following a single aesthetic language, Living Cult is interested in creating objects and spaces that encourage self-expression and feel personal to the people who inhabit them. Across both spatial and product design, Living Cult seeks to create work that is expressive, thoughtfully crafted, and deeply connected to the idea of identity, treating design not simply as a way of shaping spaces and objects, but as a means of shaping how we experience and express ourselves within them.
