Who is behind it
MA·MA was born from an uncomfortable observation. The islands are building and renewing their spaces at an unprecedented pace, and much of the budget for art, design and interiors is spent elsewhere. Local talent exists. It was simply left out of those projects.
MA·MA brings it in through two pieces.
The Observatory
It looks at, studies and documents the work of the Makers. It is the curated archive that opens to clients.
The projects
Every project with a client goes through MA·MA, with clear contracts and terms agreed in writing with each Maker.
Alongside MA·MA works Arte y Diseño Mallorquín, a non-profit cultural association devoted to the professional development of the Makers and to dialogue with institutions.
Two perspectives, one set of criteria
MA·MA is led by its founders, Leela Romeo and Gloria Domínguez. One opens relationships and shapes what MA·MA offers; the other makes it sustainable and looks after how it is experienced.
Leela Romeo
Co-founder · CEO
She is the visionary behind MA·MA and the one who sustains it. The idea starts with her and every step rests on her: the relationships with Makers, clients and institutions, which she builds and looks after so they last. She shapes the services and the way of working with each client, from a precise reading of what each project needs. A contemporary textile artist, she is also the founder of Desanuda.
Co-founder · CFO
Gloria Domínguez
She holds up MA·MA's economic architecture and the rigour with which every professional relationship is conducted. She designs the experience of each client and each Maker, and signs the resources with which MA·MA presents itself and works: its image, its documents, its proposals. She brings twenty years at the intersection of image, culture and brand strategy; she is the founder of Supreme Studio and an artist working in digital and print.
Those who make it possible
Alongside the founders works a small team, each person in the field they know best.
Anke Boodack
Ambassador · Hospitality
She knows hospitality from the inside and understands what a hotel is looking for when it wants to stand apart. She brings MA·MA to hotels and accompanies each conversation until it finds its shape.
Alejandro Rubio
Finance
He runs MA·MA's day-to-day finances with precision and discretion. Thanks to his work, every operation is in order and every commitment is kept.
Clare Morton
Ambassador · Interior design
She speaks the language of studios and of those who design spaces. She builds bridges between their work and that of the Makers, so that local work is part of the project from the start.
