AHU
design studio
Ahu is a high-end and bespoke furniture design duo based out of London and Istanbul, that produces collectible pieces for private individuals and interior design projects of all scales.
The designs are limited editions, hand made in Istanbul by master craftsmen in specialised, small ateliers using the highest quality materials and finishes. Founded by longtime friends and Central Saint Martins alumni Eda Akaltun and Mevce Ciraci, the pieces combine works of graphic art with innovative product and furniture design - inspired and informed by the art, craft, history and mysticism of the diverse cultures that have inhabited Asia Minor.
