The workshop

Each piece is made by hand in solid wood, using the steam-bending technique of boatbuilders. The chairs are made in annual numbered editions, each piece stamped with the MARINOMAZA stamp and its number and year; the Barlovento stool is a unique piece. About ten Marino Rockers and fifteen Nina & Beni chairs are made each year; the current waiting time for both is nine months or more.

“…crafting furniture in steam-bent wood using artisanal techniques that carry an unmistakable architectural precision.”

“In his quest for lightness, Maza utilizes the steam-bending techniques used by boatbuilders to create furniture made from impossibly thin strips of material.”
