  • BIOGRAPHY

    Angela Damman has gained international attention for her installations, with her Chandelier presented as a central feature in our award winning Design Miami: Material Shores booth in 2022. Since 2012, Angela has worked in partnership with talented local artisans based in Yucatán, engaging with sustainable design and situated making techniques. In the spirit of collaboration, they create textile works from the native plant fibres of the region, with los ancianos (translated in English as the ancient ones) still using the vernacular tools and techniques creatively realised into contemporary morphologies, the  pendants and installations that take form today. In working with this community Angela seeks to highlight the material cultures and knowledges of los ancianos, that ultimately enlivens and supports  a conscious symbiotic relationship for social and environmental benefit.

    As a daughter of the land, I’ve always envisioned a creative life for my family that is rooted in connectedness—to a culture, a people and more importantly, to a way of life. A life where less is more. Where made by hand also means harvesting the plants, extracting their fibers, mixing our own organic dyes, and spinning and weaving the fibers. The inspiration for our vision came from the incredible and talented artisans who possess knowledge that has been passed down through many generations. It was here I began to see the possibilities for textile innovation unlike anything I have encountered and now in collaboration with our artisans, we’re reaching a new level of sophistication in textile and luxury product design – while at the same time, sustaining and nourishing a mindful way of life. - Angela Damman
