A furniture studio in Istanbul that carries architectural thinking into the scale of the object.
Uslu Design Studio was founded in 2025 by Istanbul-based interior architect Alp Usluduran, as a natural extension of his interior architectural practice. Usluduran studied Interior Architecture at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University and Design at Accademia di Brera in Milan. In 2015, he founded Uslu Architects, where for over a decade he has worked with a design-driven, idealistic approach to the design and execution of spaces.
In his interior architecture practice, Usluduran designs space together with the objects within it, treating it as a complete system in which furniture is never a secondary element, but an integral part of the composition. At Uslu Design Studio, this relationship reverses: each object is designed to evoke a sense of place on its own.
The studio's debut collection, Disco House, was presented at Milan Design Week 2026 through SaloneSatellite and Alcova, bringing architecture, object, and atmosphere together in a refined, contemporary language. Uslu Design Studio aims to bring its designs to collectors and spaces around the world.

Founder
Alp Usluduran
Alp Usluduran is an interior architect and designer based in Istanbul. He began his studies in Interior Architecture at Mimar Sinan Fine Arts University in 2010 and spent an academic year at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera in Milan, focusing on design. In 2015, he founded Uslu Architects.
Over the following decade, Usluduran developed an approach to interior practice distinctly driven by design. He considers space as a cohesive system in which architecture, furniture, detail and material complement one another. Within this approach, furniture is not treated as an element added to a space, but as an integral expression of its spatial language.
The debut of the Disco House collection at Milan Design Week 2026 marked a new chapter, introducing Uslu Design Studio to the international design scene.
