by Ultramar Studio · Madrid, Spain

Ultramar Studio is a rising Madrid-based furniture design practice founded by Ewan Lamm, previously based in London. Hong Kong–British designer Ewan Lamm embraces the amalgamation of Eastern and Western cultures, drawing inspiration from both realms for his unique design pieces. Lamm discovered his passion for storytelling and exploring spirituality through furniture design, believing that delving into the tales and lore of diverse cultures allows one to grasp the vastness of our world and foster harmony among its people, paving the way toward global citizenship.Through Ultramar, Ewan Lamm aspires to bridge cultural gaps, fostering a deeper understanding and appreciation for the world’s diverse heritage. His designs serve as conduits, weaving together tales and histories, enabling individuals to connect on a profound level. Lamm’s dedication to sharing the beauty and significance of cultural exchange is at the core of Ultramar’s ethos, propelling us toward a more interconnected and harmonious global community.“My passion lies in bridging cultures through the stories and histories woven into my objects,” he says. “By sharing these diverse narratives, I hope to cultivate a deeper appreciation for our shared human experience.” This vision is reflected in his studio’s name, Ultramar, derived from the Latin words ultra (“beyond”) and mare (“sea”). Through his work, he invites audiences on a journey across narratives and folklore from the world beyond the sea. This rich tapestry of Eastern and Western influences continues to inspire his practice and fuels his desire to connect people through the power of storytelling.
