Mia Karlova Galerie: Functional Sculpture & Collectible Design Shaped with Sensitivity
Mia Karlova Galerie is a contemporary design gallery in Amsterdam presenting functional sculpture, collectible design, and contemporary craft-based art distinguished by material intelligence and shaped with sensitivity and intention. The gallery works with both established designers and emerging voices who approach materials with precision and curiosity, resulting in pieces valued for their craftsmanship, character, and emotional presence.
Founded in 2020 by interior architect and curator Mia Karlova, the gallery works closely with its designers from early concept to final piece. This collaboration reflects a shared approach to making: attentive, process-driven, and rooted in the belief that an object’s presence matters as much as its function - qualities that speak to collectors and design professionals seeking work with lasting resonance.
At the core of the gallery’s vision is an interest in how objects influence the emotional atmosphere of a space. The works presented here are defined by their quiet authority: pieces that recalibrate a room, invite slower observation, and introduce a sense of composure. Surfaces, proportions and materials are handled in ways that heighten sensory awareness and create an interior experience that is both refined and emotionally grounded.
This curatorial approach positions the gallery as a place where contemporary design is understood not only through form and function, but through its capacity to shape inner experience.
Discover Collectible Design & Functional Art
At Mia Karlova Galerie, visitors can explore a diverse selection of collectible design, functional sculpture, and mixed media contemporary art. The gallery’s roster includes both established designers and experimental young practices, fostering a dynamic dialogue between genres through a common emotional language.
Mia Karlova Interior Design
Before founding the gallery, Mia Karlova worked as an award-winning interior architect whose practice delivered complex private and public projects. Her work has been featured in leading publications including Architectural Digest, Elle Decoration, and Interior+Design.
In 2019, Architectural Digest named her among the top interior architects of the year, and she received the award for ‘Best Public Space Project’. Her background in spatial composition, material sensibility, and emotional atmosphere continues to inform the gallery’s curatorial vision.
