The Founder

Marian Frezza Arnold

 

The daughter of a talented crafty and Textile obsessed Mother, and a Deep-Sea Diver Father, both well-traveled and avid collectors of anything interesting and unusual.

Marian grew up between the wilds of Sardinia, the old town of Genoa, the volcanic island of Stromboli, the Italian Riviera, and sailing the world with her family on a 1926 Danish schooner.

A combination that led to a great eye for special pieces, and a strong appreciation for how natural materials and design can work hand in hand.

A trained architect, with over a decade of experience as an interior designer, Marian has worked for a number of prestigious design studios on high-end projects, both in the UK and overseas.

Marian's true passion and expertise in hand-crafted textiles lead her to establish Studio Marian in 2015.

 
 

“I love earthy tones. I love the textures and imperfections found in nature, and the effect that nature has on all our senses. These quirks and character carry through to handcrafted textiles.”

Our Philosophy:

 Natural materials are unrivalled in their ability to add a richness and depth, and handmade pieces add a sense of calm and serenity to living spaces.

When the two are combined, we believe the results can be outstanding, bringing us closer to our heritage and providing warmth and an intimacy.
