The two wings of Māti
A designer and a sculptor
Co-founders Aparna Sukhija and Gloriana Riggioni joined forces to explore ways to live close to the earth and give full rein to creativity.
Aparna is a ceramics specialist with a background in design. After an early career in advertising, she moved away from a computer-based practice into the world of hand crafts. Her work has expanded to include the art of creating living spaces.
Gloriana is a multidisciplinary sculptor with a background in Art History and Philosophy and a long-standing teaching career. Her interest in working with natural materials has led her to pursue traditional techniques for the making of large scale structures.
Mati was conceived as a place to gather a rising community of similarly driven people: collaborators, learners and fellow practitioners who can enrich and be nurtured by the environment that is being created.
