CIA ORE

Cia's design language centers on hyper-functional objects + garments that push heritage craft, luxury, and innovation through a decolonized lens. Her practice involves engineering new methods of making that can accommodate both aesthetic extremes and the practical need to move, feel and protect.


As an integrative somatic practitioner, Cia approaches regeneration as both material and social, integrating holistic care within community-based work in the Ecuadorian Andes.


Today, a network spanning Europe and the Americas allows Cia to extend ORE into a full-service

development studio, offering consultancy, craft + production to brands, designers and private clients.
