About ZEMA
Born from the creative bond between cousins, artists, and mothers, ZEMA is a sculptural homeware brand rooted in storytelling, color, and joy. We believe art should be lived with—not just looked at. We create sculptural objects for the everyday: bold, joyful pieces crafted from our signature resin and designed to last.
Each piece is an invitation—to gather, to play, to experience design as an extension of human connection. We create for spaces that are as bold as they are intimate, where objects are meant to be handled, admired, and passed from one generation to the next. Meticulously handcrafted in Colombia, ZEMA fuses material innovation with artistic intuition, crafting objects that are both functional and emotionally resonant.
Our Material
Resin, reimagined.
Our signature resin is not just a medium—it’s a message. Lightweight yet enduring. Vibrant yet sculptural. Child-proof and dinner-party ready. Every pour is unique, every piece a tactile experience.
Chosen for its versatility and expressive potential, resin allows us to transcend the boundary between utility and aesthetics. Through this medium, we explore playful silhouettes and architectural lines, marrying everyday function with enduring artistic presence.
