Founded by José Bañuelos the studio believes in the transformative power of creativity and community. Rooted in the principles of the Social and Solidarity Economy, they promote social responsibility whilefostering collaboration with local artisans in San José de Gracia, Michoacán.

There, more than five families come together to create exquisite glazed clay pieces, with the pineapple design as a cherished symbol of our tradition. Their mission is to cultivate a solid, interdisciplinary, and dynamic Project that reflects the very essence of clay.

Through innovative design, the studio aims to empower these communities, facilitating their self-development and enriching the social landscape as a whole. By merging architecture, art, and product design, MARVA STUDIO not only pays tribute to the rich heritage of artisans but also enhances their creative expression and economic resilience.
