Muromuro Studio

Muromuro Studio is an architecture and design practice founded by architects Ioana Chifu and Onar Stănescu. The studio’s work spans a wide range of typologies, from public spaces and private residences to retail, object design, exhibition design and cultural projects.

Since 2022, with the opening of Grotto Gallery, the duo has expanded its creative path toward contemporary art and curatorial work, exploring the intersection between architecture, design and art, and demonstrating a consistent ability to produce conceptually driven projects.

Their aesthetic is defined by a carefully articulated formal language, a strong interest in materiality, clear geometric forms, and a vision that blends functionality with expressiveness, whether in furniture, interior spaces or exhibition scenography.

In 2025, together with artist Vlad Nancă and curator Cosmina Goagea, Muromuro Studio signs the Human Scale project, representing Romania at the 19th Venice Biennale of Architecture.
