About

I'm Mariana, a Colombian designer who's been living in Germany since 2019. I'm really into design, colors, textures, and anything that reminds me of the beautiful country I'm from. I'm curious, open to new challenges, and love working with others to come up with creative solutions that really connect with people. I truly believe that design can make our everyday lives better.

piracema. Intercultural design

This project was born out of a desire to connect Colombia and Germany through design. I developed a piece of furniture that is not only aesthetically appealing, but also reflects the potential of both countries. Traditional, contemporary, and innovative is the motto of this project. Colombian and German influences are combined in a single design. Migration promotes cultural exchange and opens up completely new possibilities. This chair builds a bridge between both cultures, and its design clearly shows how integration becomes an experience that explores both traditions and new paths.
