About Us
Ponce Studio was founded by Pelin Once, an architect and fashion designer passionate about blending form, function, and artistry. After graduating from Politecnico di Milano in 2015, she gained diverse experience working in architectural studios across Paris until 2019. Over time, her interest shifted toward smaller-scale, hands-on design, allowing for greater creative expression and experimentation. In April 2023, she returned to her hometown of Izmir to establish Ponce Studio, launching with her first product, Wada Lamps—a testament to her love for craftsmanship, color, and innovation. She now continues her experimental journey with the Flow Series.
Philosophy
Ponce Studio has created a collective of 10 local women talented artisans, aiming to be experimental in the field of design furniture while also continuing its architecture activities. We aspire to create artistic furniture and extraordinary spaces that inspire, are colorful, and fun.
Working Ethics
We're proud to work with respect and love for each other and nature. That's why we use local materials and leverage the power of local artisanal force to create zero-waste and 100% recyclable paper packaging. Join us on our journey to create colorful, fun, and inspiring spaces that reflect our love for design and the environment.
