Meaning
Every piece begins with a story worth preserving.
About Mama Museum
Objects that carry stories.
Between Singapore, Japan and Italy, Mama Museum brings together porcelain, memory and contemporary design.
Our origin
Born from a dialogue between cultures
Mama Museum began with a simple belief: an everyday object can hold a place, a memory and a sense of belonging. Its roots lie in Singapore, in the creative universe of Supermama, founded in 2010 by Edwin and Mei Ling Low.
From Italy, Mama Museum continues that dialogue between East and West, selecting and creating pieces in which porcelain becomes a language for stories that deserve to be kept.
FOUNDER
The person behind Mama Museum.
I’m Emiliana, founder of Mama Museum, a project born from my love of design and of objects capable of telling stories.
After six years in Singapore, I brought to Italy a dialogue between Italian sensibility and Japanese craftsmanship, transforming it into my own personal vision.
Mama Museum is this: design as belonging, made of places, people and small everyday rituals.

Our language
A polaroid on porcelain
We are interested not only in the shape of an object, but in the life it carries. A landmark, a gesture, a family ritual or a shared symbol can become a fragment of culture fixed in porcelain.
The result is design that feels personal without losing its universal voice: made to be used, given and passed on.
What guides us
Meaning before decoration
Craft
Material knowledge, precision and time give each object its integrity.
Belonging
Design creates connections between people, places and generations.

Objects made to endure
Japan is central to Mama Museum’s porcelain language. Through our collaborations with specialist makers, we draw on material knowledge, precision and time-honed ceramic expertise.
For us, responsibility means designing with intention and creating objects whose emotional and material value lasts beyond a season.
Porcelain should enter the home naturally: not as something untouchable, but as a precious everyday gesture.
