Bio

amgs is a studio created by Colombian designer Ana María Gómez after finishing a Master in Textile Design at La Cambre, Brussels (2015).
In recent years Ana María has been experimenting in different ways with textile based on an awareness of different cultural and social worlds. She is highly interested in fortunate encounters between different cultures and ways of thinking, specially where textile has been used as language: as a way to communicate. Her aim is to gain knowledge of traditional and contemporary ways of working with textile.

Omarcity was developed in 2018 from a desire to offer a platform to small sustainable and inspirational brands from undiscovered “creative cities” around the world. It is an exploration of their products in the online showroom/shop, and an invitation to get inspired by their style, their world, their interior designs, their work spaces and their stories.
