My name is Maricla Kandzorra Martelli and I am born in Darmstadt, Hesse in Germany, and I have the Italian nationality. My parents immigrated from Matera, Italy in 1971 to Darmstadt which is close to Frankfurt. Since I am Italian and my father came from arts as he made his diploma in arts at the state art institute of Bari in 1961 (which now is named Accademia di Belle Arti), I was already very early introduced to the beauty of our world. This is still today my source of creativity which I now can live out in the design of products with which I have the opportunity to sell and share the beauty with you.
You find here everything self made from the web-design to the product design everything is been done with passion and love for the beauty by myself. Regarding the manufacturing I have chosen the best materials and production procedure of my designs in the partnership with Contrado based on actual, especially on environmental aspects. This demonstrates that while using my heart I never forget to bring my brain into my work and this is why I want to create an environmental conscience in you as my customers.
Umberto Eco says in its book „On beauty“ that „beauty is boring because predictable“. Assuming this is right maybe humanity since ever needed more predictability than uncertainty in life.
