About
Marianne Friese came to China more than 15 years ago. Her Chinese Name: 玛莉莲 transposed into Western Characters is: MǎLìLián. Her name means: Jade, Jasmine, Lotus. Just like her name, Marianne combines contrasting elements: East and West, hard and soft, noisy and calm, tactile and visual. These contrasts spark the visual and sensual eccentricity of her soft furnishing pieces.
MaLiLian, respectively Marianne, created her very first sofa while living in Los Angeles in 1988. In Germany, in the 1990s, she honed her skills, designing and handcrafting additional pieces. New influences pushed her imagination into new dimensions after moving to China in 2001. Sofas, chairs and pillows - the collection was boosted with vibrant color schemes and vivid patterns as well as brilliant combinations of the two.
Carpets
Carpets are best experienced barefoot. As all MaLiLian creations focus on touch and feel, MaLiLian carpets are a pure pleasure for their texture and haptics. Size and design vary, and adaptations of existing designs are also possible based on your desires and needs. Just let your imagination run wild.
MaLiLian carpets are manufactured at workshops specializing in small editions and premium-quality productions. Maximum care is given to each piece as they are produced one-by-one under the strict supervision of the designer.
