Working with the islands' network of Makers

Three memberships for professionals and interior design studios who want to bring local creation into their projects, with judgement, contracts and real names.

What we offer is not a catalogue

A catalogue can be copied. What cannot be copied is the selection, the relationship with each workshop and the ability to turn a piece into a commission with a contract, lead times and clear terms.

Observatory

The records of the network's Makers: work, materials, techniques and, depending on the level, capacity, lead times and dimensions.

Creative Match

A selection of Makers for a specific project. Members receive a tiered discount of 10 to 20% on MA·MA's service.

Your own record

Every member appears in the Observatory with their projects made with Makers, and every Maker named.

Events

Free entry to MA·MA's paid events, open workshops and the Open Studio Tour.

Belonging to the network

Being a Friend means being part of a circle with judgement about local creation. That value goes beyond each commission.

Legitimacy

MA·MA works with cultural institutions and appears in the press in Spanish and English. Your name is associated with that judgement.

Visibility

Your record in the Observatory, your mention as a Friend and your presence in MA·MA's editorial material.

Relationship with the Makers

You get to know the workshops, the people and their way of working before commissioning a piece.

Professional community

Gatherings with other studios and Makers: the common space the sector still lacks in the islands.

Traceability for your client

You can tell who made each piece, where and with what material. It is the difference between a collection and a catalogue.

Local circular economy

The budget of your projects stays in the local creative community and sustains its heritage.

your studio, in the Observatory too

Your record is not an advertisement: it is a statement of how you work. It shows that your projects are made with the creation of the islands, that the budget stays in the local creative community and that every piece has a name behind it.

​

It is your way of joining, in public, what MA·MA stands for: local circular economy and care for heritage. That is why all three levels have the same record, with the same sections: the commitment of a small studio is worth as much as that of a large one.

What the fee gives back

The fee does not buy a discount: it is a way of positioning your studio. What it gives back goes beyond day-to-day work, although the day-to-day also shows in the accounts and the calendar.

BEYOND DAY-TO-DAY WORK

Visibility alongside MA·MA

Your record in the Observatory, your name in the projects we document with Makers, presence at events and in the network's communication. You appear together: MA·MA, the studio and the Makers.

Values that can be shown

Local creation, circular economy and heritage stop being a statement. They can be seen in real pieces, and you can tell your client who made each one, where and with what material. It is the difference between a collection and a catalogue.

Un círculo con criterio

A direct relationship with Makers, other studios and the island's cultural institutions. The budget of your projects stays in the local creative community, and belonging to a curated network says something about your studio before you present a project.

In day-to-day work too

Time you get back

Finding and vetting Makers, confirming capacity and lead times, arranging workshop visits, coordinating commissions and contracts. The network does that work, and your team spends its time designing.

Savings on services

Creative Match and renders, with a tiered discount of 10 to 20%. Premium includes the first Creative Match of the year.

Less risk in the commission

Makers selected with judgement, with records showing capacity, dimensions and lead times. Fewer surprises on site and at delivery.
