Marcela Cure

Il Corpo Bookends

Il Corpo is an entirely hand-made figurative sculpture inspired by the feminine form. Sculpted in clay and cast in a resin-stone composite, this collectible design object is both a celebration of the female spirit and a functional set of decorative bookends. 

Marcela Cure is an interior designer and artist from Barranquilla, Colombia. Growing up with an artist mother, Marcela’s upbringing was one of creative incitement, which was permeated by folklore and intensity of life in Barranquilla. Educated as an engineer, Cure began to organically gravitate towards interior design. Her eclectic, upbeat, and Latin-rooted interpretations of contemporaneity across residential and hospitality projects served as a backdrop for her subsequent sculptural explorations. Today, her multi-disciplinary studio includes interior design services as well as shoppable collectible design objects.
