ABOUT

Hi, I’m Güllü, founder of Studio Damla.

As a busy mum of two young children, I know first-hand that home can be a space that is more chaotic than calm.

For me, creating welcoming spaces has a deep impact that goes beyond simply furnishing a room.

I grew up in a tiny mountain village in Turkey, in a home that was humble in nature, but that overflowed with the joy of family dinners, items of beauty and the flickering of candles.

After relocating to Switzerland, I honoured this spirit as I created a new home for myself in a new country. I even ran a business called ‘Evîn’ (which means both ‘home’ and ‘love’ in Kurdish) creating candles inspired by this time, as a way of honouring my past and appreciating the power of our home environments.

Over the last 30 years, I have truly found a home for myself in Switzerland. I now live in the beautiful scenic region of Stallikon with my husband, my daughter, my son and our two Persian cats, and I have loved the challenge of creating a space that works for us all, while keeping us connected with the nature we so love.

My specialism is in translating family chaos into calm, cozy spaces that feel like home. Spaces that work as well in use as they look, spaces that balance the need for the children’s play, and the adults’ rest. Spaces that you step into and exhale, but that are easy to maintain.

I look forward to bringing out the heart of your home,
