Studio Lugo reinterprets Anatolian heritage through a modern ritual of design
At EDIT Napoli 2025, Istanbul-based Studio Lugo unveils the Anachron Trolley — a sculptural, compact piece that transforms the warmth of Anatolian tradition into a contemporary gesture. Designed by Doruk Kubilay, it continues Lugo’s Anachron story, where memory and modernity coexist through texture, craft, and quiet emotion.
First introduced at Alcova Milano, the Trolley embodies a simple yet universal idea: gathering. It recalls long Anatolian evenings — where sharing food, drink, and conversation is less an event, more a way of belonging. Designed for the pace of urban life, it turns small spaces into places of connection.
A RITUAL OF TOGETHERNESS
Circular forms, lacewood veneer, Gaziantep’s kutnu silk, and hand-brushed horsehair define its tactile language. A hand-sewn curtain, crafted with traditional folding techniques, conceals and reveals — balancing function with intimacy. Every curve and stitch carries the mark of the hand, reflecting Studio Lugo’s dedication to craftsmanship and slow design.
Available in silky matte finishes and customizable tones, the Anachron Trolley adapts effortlessly — as a serving companion, a sculptural accent, or a quiet centrepiece for daily rituals.
FROM ISTANBUL TO NAPLES
Founded by Doruk Kubilay, Studio Lugo creates collectible objects that bridge Anatolian heritage and contemporary living. Rooted in Istanbul’s layered identity, the studio’s work celebrates tactility, emotion, and craftsmanship as timeless connectors.
