The studio was created in 2020 by Italian-German product designer Lucrezia Papillo and Mozambican-Portuguese architect Iany Gayo. With an intentional focus on natural fibers, ancient techniques and their continuity, MACHEIA’s work ranges from storytelling-objects, sculptural installations and private commissions.
Machiea is a Lisbon-based design studio guided by research to create contemporary reflections of tradition, rooted in a material, place, or technique.
