Studio Marmi is a design studio based in Istanbul &
Los Angeles that produces handcrafted contemporary rugs.


Founded by Asli Smith & Sirin Aysan through a mutual love and appreciation of individually crafted and handwoven rugs, the Marmi brand was born out of the founders’ desire to work with artisans in their native land, Turkey and to create unique collections that expressed rug design as an art form.

Asli Smith is an artist and multidisciplinary designer based in Istanbul & New York. Sirin Aysan is a documentary filmmaker and creative executive based in Los Angeles.
