About Maria

María Urquiola is a Venezuelan designer based in Valencia, Spain. With a background in interior design and a particular fascination for everyday objects, she explores how shapes, colours and unexpected details can bring personality to the spaces we inhabit.

Her work moves between design, craftsmanship and playfulness. Inspired by everyday life, childhood curiosity and the simple pleasure of surrounding ourselves with things we love, she creates objects that invite people to see the ordinary from a different perspective.

Her first collection, Wall Candy, introduces BOW, a modular ceramic wall object designed to encourage experimentation with colour and composition. Handcrafted in Valencia, each piece brings traditional ceramic techniques into a contemporary and playful context.

At the heart of her work is a simple idea: a world built around objects.
