From a passion for art and design to a commitment to supporting economic opportunity in under-resourced settings, Tanya Tessier proudly founded Mararamiro. Her career journey, from being a Senior Fashion Designer at a beloved Canadian brand to a Home Decor Product Developer for a global retailer, prepared her for her most rewarding venture yet.

When the pandemic hit, Tanya sought a new direction. Inspired by a visit to The Apartment in Copenhagen and her love for home decor, she took a leap of faith and launched Mararamiro Studio - Canada's first shoppable photography studio in Toronto's east neighbourhood of Leslieville. This studio became a treasure trove of vintage and contemporary home decor objects from around the world, each with a unique story.

In late 2023, Mararamiro expanded with the opening of a brick-and-mortar store, Mararamiro Home, in Toronto's west end near Roncesvalles. This new location continues the mission to move beyond the disposable and embrace the joy of discovering unique home decor that narrates one's story and values.

Mararamiro Home is a sanctuary for the discerning decorator, specializing in decor that brings the artistry and narratives of global cultures into your living space. Our retail store curates a collection where each piece tells a story, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design to offer a selection that is both unique and ethically sourced. As cultural curators, we strive to connect our customers with decor that not only enhances their home but also enriches it with a sense of global exploration and sophistication. Exclusive and carefully selected, Mararamiro Home's offerings stand against the tide of mass production, ensuring that every item in our collection is as unique and personal as the homes they grace.

The true beauty of our decor lies in the hands and stories of our makers and brands. Our curated collection showcases the work of talented artisans from around the world, each bringing their unique cultural heritage and craftsmanship to every piece they create. Hailing from diverse backgrounds, our makers work in traditional workshops, family businesses, and cooperative groups, each journey a testament to their dedication, skill, and passion for their craft.

We are committed to ethical sourcing and fair trade practices, ensuring that our makers receive fair compensation and recognition for their extraordinary work. By supporting these artisans, we help sustain traditional craftsmanship and provide economic opportunities in under-resourced settings. Through our collection, we aim to connect you with the people, cultures, and narratives that bring each piece to life, enriching your home with a sense of global exploration and sophistication.
