While working on renovations and remodels on their properties across three states, best friends Meltem and Kayla (MK) grew frustrated with the challenges of designing, sourcing, and fabricating unique finishes and furnishings for their homes. They began to visit antique fairs, scour thrift stores, and work with fabricators to create pieces that had a rich story and personal meaning.

​

As the pair continued their scouting adventures around the world, they began to develop an affinity for materials with patina and history, which led them into the world of reclamation and re-use. As tech and finance executives who have experience building and operating businesses, they saw an opportunity to create a studio to bring their style and these materials to a wider audience while using technology to streamline the experience of design.

​

MK Studio was born from a desire for meaningful relationships between people, the spaces they occupy, and the materials and objects they interact with every day.
