Studio Kali is an Istanbul-based, award-winning design studio founded in 2019 by Fulden Topaloğlu. Rooted in a deep appreciation for design, art, culture, and craft, the studio creates functional objects with a quiet poetic quality, bringing wonder and beauty into everyday life. Its collections exist between craft, art, and contemporary design, emphasizing craftsmanship, sustainability, and timelessness.

Produced in small batches and handmade by skilled artisans, each piece reinterprets traditional techniques through a modern aesthetic, preserving cultural knowledge while adapting it to contemporary living. Working primarily with natural materials such as wood, metal, and wool, Studio Kali draws inspiration from the Mediterranean landscape and Turkey’s rich cultural heritage. Its practice supports local craftsmanship and industry while celebrating material authenticity. Through her designs, Topaloğlu transforms narratives of place, history, and identity into contemporary objects of enduring character, creating a thoughtful dialogue between heritage and modern life.
