Derun Studio was founded by Derya Akdeniz Durmaz, a graduate of the Venture Warrior program, with the belief that living spaces should not only be aesthetically pleasing but also healing spaces that nourish the soul, mind, and body. The founder’s own experience of the healing power of space at turning points in her life formed the basis of this approach.

The discovery was made that spaces could allow people to breathe, and bring peace and awareness, through a fusion of nature, ancient wisdom, and modern design. This understanding gave the designs not only visual but also emotional depth.

Years of experience in interior design, combined with interdisciplinary expertise, resulted in a unique design model. Today, Derun Studio designs holistic living experiences that touch the essence of humanity and are in harmony with natural cycles.
