With an engineering background, Mariana combines precision with artistic creativity in a unique process through which she designs and weaves each piece. The Atelier explores ancient weaving techniques to create bespoke handmade works with a modern touch, applying them to a variety of interior projects to enrich and complete a space’s storytelling. Drawing inspiration from the shapes and materials she encounters everywhere, Mariana creates unique handmade tapestries, using a diverse range of materials to give each piece a modern twist.
Mariana Ralo’s Atelier is a contemporary tapestry studio based in Lisbon, Portugal. " I want to add texture and comfort to spaces, while giving people a sense of exclusivity and belonging through beauty and modern craftsmanship.’ - Mariana
