MARIA ECONOMIDES
A sense
of place.
Considered in every detail.
Felt in every space.
Selected projects developed with 1508 London and Wilson Associates. Individual roles and studio credits accompany each project.
Personal in approach.
International in perspective.
I’m Maria, an interior designer based in Dubai, working across hospitality, private residences and distinctive places to gather.
My work brings together interior design, FF&E and art procurement. From the first concept to the final details, I’m drawn to natural materials, craftsmanship and spaces that feel connected to their setting.
I have held key design roles on commissions for royalty and high-profile private clients, whose identities remain confidential. Those projects call for discretion, close collaboration and careful attention to every detail.

people, places and collaboration.
