The Vision Behind Studio Sakaia

As founder and creative director of Studio Sakaia, Madalina Aris draws on global travel and cultural insight to craft soulful, refined interiors. Her vision is rooted in the human experience: design that is intuitive, functional, and quietly luxurious.

Shaped by years of exploring diverse cultures and traditions, Madalina brings a deep respect for craftsmanship and cultural heritage into her work. Every project reflects a dialogue between timeless materials and modern sensibilities, where oak, marble, and natural textures are elevated through precise detailing and a curatorial eye.
