Animate Objects, founded by designer Zeynep Satik, is an Istanbul-based studio creating sculptural and collectible furniture shaped by narrative, performance, and theatrical presence. Trained in Performance Design and Practice at Central Saint Martins in London, Satık brings a multidisciplinary sensibility to her work, where form, material, and storytelling converge with precision. Drawing from literature, theatre, fine art, and her early experience in fashion, film, and advertising, she develops objects that feel animated, imbued with character, emotion, and intention. Since establishing the studio in 2022, her limited-edition pieces have explored the boundary between sculpture and function, transforming interiors into staged environments that invite imagination rather than convention.
