| Biography |
Omayra Maymó is an architect and designer based in between Madrid and Copenhagen, occupied in the creation of pieces of furniture, lighting and objects, through which she explores the narrative and emotional power of our material world.
<blockquote>"When I design something I don’t start by thinking about the object itself, but instead I think about the intangible relationship that will be created between that object and its user in more emotional aspects.
I see myself as a storyteller. I conceive the object as a form of expression and aim to explore its full narrative and expressive potential. My designs are the language of an intention, an idea that wants to be transmitted beyond the object's functionality, in order to provoke emotions and move people.
In addition to my work with industrial products grounded in a large-scale production context, my more speculative projects, which often result in unique, experimental pieces, make up an important part of my work and approach.
My work often searches for ways to merge these apparently opposite frameworks into one, exploring the natural potential of materials and their limits and reconsidering how they are processed, with the aim to bring new perspectives into the design industry and approach more meaningful and human ways of manufacturing."</blockquote>
