Our Story

Curated through a designer’s eye.

Studio Gonka began with a simple belief: the objects we live with should do more than fill a space. They should create atmosphere, express character, and make a home feel distinctly personal.

Founded by architect and interior designer Gonca Yılmaz, Studio Gonka is shaped by more than two decades of experience in architecture, interiors, and material selection. A design journey spanning New York, Istanbul, and Washington, D.C. informs a point of view that is warm, considered, and quietly expressive.

Our Point of View

We are drawn to objects with presence: sculptural lighting, unexpected materials, expressive color, and pieces that feel collected rather than simply purchased.

Every item in the Studio Gonka edit is selected for its ability to bring balance, character, and lasting visual interest to an interior. We look beyond passing trends and choose pieces that can live naturally alongside different periods, styles, and personal stories.

Designed to Be Lived With

Good design should feel beautiful, but never distant. It should bring warmth to everyday rituals, create moments of discovery, and become part of the way a home is experienced.

Studio Gonka brings together lighting, objects, and accents for interiors that feel layered, individual, and alive.

Because a home should feel collected—not simply furnished.
