Mariza Tsiligkiridi was born in Athens in 1983. She has studied Architecture in the National Technical University of Athens.
In 2009, she founded maRaiz creative studio with a focus on architecture, product design and the implementation of these.
Particularly fond of small space architecture and of drawing solutions upon implementation, Mariza decided to get involved in the industrial design and manufacture of furniture, lighting fixtures and everyday objects. Her source of inspiration involves streets, old-stuff shops, warehouses, industries, construction sites, travels and music.
In every construction, each part has a predetermined use. The creations of Mariza prove the exact opposite. Materials that live in obscurity take a different role; furniture about to go to waste is dismantled or used unaltered in imaginative and peculiar compositions.
She likes to create multi-functional spaces and practical furniture by combining traditional and industrial design in an innovative way. She also believes that the architecture of both spaces and objects is a living organism that should be in the position to transform easily according to the users’ needs.
