About the Maker

Daniela Rubino is a London–based designer.


Her interest lies in creating bold, bespoke and accessible hand–made products using locally sourced materials. By combining both industrial aesthetics and elements with her own personal touch in her work, no two pieces are ever identical and result in something unique and authentically designed. Characteristically made with robust materials such as concrete and metal, allows durability in her pieces as objects that are made to last.
