GRANMA is a playful twist on MA (Merche Alcalà) and grandma.

Becoming a grandmother gave me another reason to keep playing, exploring and looking at the world with curiosity.

After a lifetime in design, I still enjoy making things myself. There's something intimate and personal about the process. Questions arise naturally: Will it work? Is it useful? What materials should I use? How much will it cost? Will I like it? Will you like it?

And then come hundreds more. Sometimes, just asking those questions makes the whole experience worthwhile.

Some of these objects begin as part of my interior design projects. Others simply come from an idea, a material or the pleasure of experimenting. Some have existed only on paper for years, waiting for their moment.

GRANMA is a way of bringing these ideas to life, making them in my workshop and offering them to others.

Objects born from curiosity, made for the joy of discovering.

I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy making them.
