Lancashire & North West Magazine features ITS A MOOD and its founder, interior architect Maria Massaad, exploring the studio’s creative philosophy, craftsmanship, and approach to collectible design.

The article highlights the CURVAS Collection, where sculptural forms, architectural influences, and handcrafted materials come together. It explores the studio’s distinctive use of wood and microcement, alongside a creative process that moves between digital precision and traditional craftsmanship.

Through an intimate look at Maria’s background, artistic vision, and hands-on practice, the feature reflects on the relationship between material, form, and emotion. Selected works from the collection, including the Columna, Mawjé, and Oléa chairs, illustrate the studio’s approach to creating functional sculptures that extend beyond their practical purpose.

At its core, the feature captures ITS A MOOD’s vision of design as an emotional experience, where objects become part of the atmosphere and identity of a space.
