Marianna Piccolo: A Visionary in Luxury Interior Design

Marianna Piccolo is an exceptionally original and creative Italian luxury interior designer who has made a significant mark on the Dubai design scene since 2009. Twice recognized as one of the most powerful and influential Middle East designers by CID magazine, Marianna's impact is both profound and far-reaching. Her expertise and insight have made her a sought-after speaker at architectural conferences and interior design forums, including the prestigious Women in Construction Summit 2019 and 2023, where she inspires her peers and mentors the next generation of designers.

Born in Puglia, Southern Italy, Marianna's aesthetic sensibilities were nurtured by the rural beauty, rich culture, folk music, art, and architecture of her homeland. This early exposure fueled her passion for design, leading her to pursue a degree in interior design at the esteemed Polytechnic University of Milan. Upon graduating in 2007, she honed her skills under the mentorship of the legendary Italian interior designer and architect Marco Piva. Under his guidance, she developed a balanced approach to design that marries rationality with creative freedom.

Driven by Piva's encouragement to think big, Marianna relocated to Dubai in 2009, where she worked as a design consultant for high-profile companies such as RW Armstrong, Sinergo S.P.A, and Al Tayer Group. In 2014, she founded her own studio, MyPickOne, quickly establishing herself as a notable entrepreneur in the UAE's luxury interior design industry.

As the Principal Designer of Marianna Piccolo Studio, Marianna leads a team of talented creatives with 15 years of enviable experience in luxury design. Her signature residential and commercial projects in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Puglia, and Paris stand as a testament to her exceptional skill and visionary approach. Her successful collaborations with Italian masters like celebrated architect Piero Lissoni and skilled artisans such as Domenico Piccolo elevate her work to unparalleled heights.

Beyond interior design, Marianna's twin passions for photography and fashion enhance her natural eye for composition, color palettes, fabrics, and textures. These interests complement her design work, giving her a distinctive edge in creating luxurious, harmonious spaces.

Marianna Piccolo's journey from the picturesque landscapes of Puglia to the dynamic, cosmopolitan environment of Dubai exemplifies her commitment to excellence and innovation in interior design. Her work continues to inspire and influence, setting new standards in the industry.
