WHO?
I’m Maria Larsson, a Swedish designer and illustrator. Starting out as a potter I’ve traveled a long and winding road to finally get to where I am today. It amazes me that I had to walk such a long way to end up where I actually once began; trying to make the world a more beautiful place designing everyday objects for everyday use. You can read more about me here, about my creative journey here, and my thoughts on the creative life throughout my blog.

WHY?
Because beauty will save the world! Does it sound crazy? I’m convinced that beautiful things are essential to human beings. We cannot live without beauty. It is a basic need, as much as food or sleep. The world needs artists as much as doctors or teachers. If you want to know why this is my firm belief read more here!
