Maria Tyakina is a furniture designer whose practice focuses on sensorial perception and the re-imagination of habituated ways of looking at objects.

Her work is often characterized by sculptural gestures and focuses on exploring physicality and how objects mediate our connection to the physical world. Through a personal design language, her work blends form narratives with a character of a material and unique craftsmanship.
Maria completed her Interior Architecture and Furniture Design studies at the Royal Academy of Art in The Hague, The Netherlands where she now lives and works.
