Based in Florence, Statu is an industrial design studio operating at the intersection of furniture, objects, spatial design, and material research. Rooted in traditional craft and shaped by the pulse of contemporary culture, our work explores the intricate relationship between form, material, and time.
Founded by Murat Afsar, the studio acts as a strategic bridge, merging the richness of Turkish heritage with the refined discipline of Italian design culture. At Statu, design is not merely an aesthetic pursuit but a rigorous methodological journey. Our vision is fueled by deep research and technical capability, ensuring that every concept is grounded in manufacturing logic and material integrity.
Our impact on the global design scene is amplified through prestigious external collaborations. We are proud to have partnered with industry leaders worldwide, including Natuzzi Italia, Roche Bobois, Visionnaire, Cierre, Cantori, Enne, ByKepi, Airnova, Doimo Brazil, Nicoline, Rossi di Albizzate, Enza Home, Cattelan Italia, Lenzi, and many more…
The story of Statu is deeply connected to Statü Mobilya, a family legacy founded in the 1980s in Turkey. This foundation provides us with nearly half a century of expertise in production and craftsmanship. Today, we translate this decades long manufacturing heritage into a modern, international context from our Florence studio. By blending time honored techniques with a global design perspective, we continue to build bridges between designers, producers, and world class brands.
