Founder Deniz Akgunay creates calm luxury through minimalist furniture and magical playhouses.
Deniz Akgunay is the Founder & CEO of Akgunay Concept, the house behind My Little Mansion and D’Atelier No.5059. Her work is defined by quiet luxury: fewer lines, better materials, and a standard of craft that feels calm in the hand and effortless in the home.
With D’Atelier No.5059 she translates a coastal, minimalist sensibility into enduring furniture; with My Little Mansion she elevates childhood through bespoke wooden playhouses made to be lived with—and loved—every day.
Deniz also hosts That’s How It Goes, a podcast about the choices and disciplines that shape creative lives. Based in Dubai, she collaborates with families and brands who value design that is both refined and real.
