MA-MA

Design studio
MA-MA is a design studio for architecture, interiors, scenography, and products.
Founded by sisters Sanam, Laylee, and Safura Salek, our work serves creative industries and a diverse clientele, from fashion and art to hospitality and real estate development, all with a commitment to crafting unique and collectible experiences and possessions. We are storytellers, creating environments that resonate with purpose and intrigue - spaces and objects that are not only contextual but transformative.

Beginning each project with an architectural lens, our multi-scaled work unfolds through meticulous attention to detail, merging narrative and design to shape journeys that are as curated as they are surprising. Combining beauty and functionality, we create designs that both ground and elevate the human experience - from furniture design and retail interiors to housing and mixed-use urban development.

MA-MA’s recent projects include site-specific concepts for the international luggage brand RIMOWA; Rolling Hills Residence, a 4,000 square foot interior remodel and 1,500 square foot addition; a contemporary design for a Menorah; scenography for Genesis during the 2024 New York International Auto Show week; and a redesign of the product and packaging for Houseplant’s U.S. launch.

MA-MA has been featured in notable publications such as Architectural Digest US, AD Spain, AD Italia, LA Times, Wall Street Journal and has been featured on the cover of Interiors California Magazine for their Queens Residence project.
