About us

Diseño de Holanda is a Dutch based company in Haarlem, the Netherlands with presence in Bogotá, Colombia.

Our office in the Netherlands is located in a design centre for innovative Dutch design and production techniques. Our office in Colombia is located in the artistic and centralised neighbourhood of Bogotá named Chapinero, which means we are based in the creative centres of both countries.

Latin America and especially Colombia’s design sector is developing rapidly. Therefore, retailers and consumers are interested in distinctive and innovative products. Dutch design has a respectable reputation but is not widely available in Latin America. The owners of Diseño de Holanda recognised this gap and therefore started the company.

Diseño de Holanda emphasises on the distribution of high quality products while focusing on the development of local communities in Latin America.

Maya Suurmond

Maya is born in Armero, Colombia and was raised in the Netherlands due to adoption. Maya is bringing the beauty of Dutch design back to her roots in order to be part of the development of her country. The motivation to start Diseño de Holanda started due to participation in a Dutch trade mission to Colombia in 2016. During the trade mission it became clear that Colombia is ready for new design products. Several products were exhibited at the biggest fair of Colombia named Feria Del Libro and got great attention from both public and businesses.
