LIFESTYLE CERAMICS
Beauty. Texture. Whimsy.
Simple pleasures in daily rituals
ABOUT ME
-
I’m Maia, the hands and heart behind Maia Ming Designs.
Born in Hawaii, raised in Italy, and educated in Product Design at Stanford,
I now live just outside Barcelona in the forest of La Collserola.
My days balance designing, making, and running a small business—sometimes
at the pottery wheel, other times managing the behind-the-scenes work.I create ceramics that enrich everyday life in simple, meaningful ways.
After years designing for big brands, I returned to the basics:
living with intention and crafting pieces that bring beauty to daily rituals.
From a no-waste soap dish to a vase that elevates wildflowers,
each piece is made to be both functional and lasting.
Made in small series, my ceramics are tactile, harmonious, and joyful—
objects that invite touch and spark delight in the little moments.
Designed to ground your home with texture, calm, and beauty,
they are pieces that last, that connect us, and that become
part of your story.
"Beautiful things make people happy."
Let customers speak for us
These are just lovely. I'm so pleased with them and they feel very tactile and comfortable in your hand. Really well made, definitely recommend. Love them.
Piękne solniczki. Miła i profesjonalna obsługa. Polecam
So elegant so beautiful. Its very sleek, and there are no imperfections.
Sehr schönes Produkt! Meine Eltern haben sich sehr über das Geschenk zum Hochzeitstag gefreut.
My daughter in law is a dinosaur fan and bought dinosaur salt and pepper shakers that were low quality. These are high quality and arrived on time for her birthday! She loves them and blue is her favorite color!
These little Manekineko cats are so darn cute. I have them on my sewing table and they always make me a,Ike when I walk into the room and see them. :-)
Very prompt shipping, clear and quick communication from the seller. Very pleased with my coffee cups!
La jabonera se nota está hecha con mucha dedicación, muy practica y muy bonita, la vendedora muy amable, sin duda un 10, muchas gracias.
These are beautiful! Well made, feel good in my hand and pleasing to use. They make me smile.
Love them they met my expectations
Love ❤️ this little teapot 🫖 it’s so cute met my expectations but look like the tip of the top looks silver but it’s all white very cute and right size .
Excellent bowls for serving and mixing and beautiful.
came very well wrapped for shipping.
Product: Excellent quality and well made. It allows water to flow straight into the sink, as the product was described. The blue colour is stunning for either an old or modern style bathroom, it’s brightened up our old-fashioned bathroom! We live in an extremely humid environment, maybe you can see in the photo even the soap absorbs the water in the atmosphere! So I’m hoping at least this soap dish will ensure drainage to prevent it happening in the future.
Customer service & delivery: A really friendly and efficient seller in communication and the product was well-packaged.
Got these as a gift for my wife and she loves them and uses them all the time.
