Natalia Corbi (Aram Studio)

Natalia Corbi is a Brazilian textile artist and entrepreneur, and founder of the Aram Studio brand. She has been working with crafts since 2008, slowly transforming her passion into a full-time profession.

Her path as a textile entrepreneur began with the creation of her accessory brand selling Orinuno pieces—a fabric-folding technique originating from Origami. She then decided to dedicate herself solely to macramé and, in 2018, Aram Studio was born. It is a place of artistic expression with natural fibers, where she carries out interior design projects for both commercial and independent clients.
