Welcome to Plaza Bolívar!
An award-winning interior decor marketplace with a mission to connect the beauty, cultural diversity and rich artisanal heritage of Latin America with the rest of the world.
Working with over 26 artisan partners from all corners of my homeland Colombia, our goal is to nurture and preserve their craftsmanship, use of natural materials and handmade techniques passed down from generation to generation.
From basket weavers nestled deep in the Amazonian forest, ceramists in the Andean highlands, to woodworkers on the Caribbean coast, we are proud to present Plaza Bolívar, offering a curated collection of exquisitely made objects that bring beauty to everyday life.

The Very Best Placemats, According to People Whose Taste We Trust
Anna Polonsky, founder of the branding and design consultancy Polonsky & Friends, has been using these as her everyday placemats for nearly four years. "We had met Mariana Suarez over the years before she started her brand," Polonsky says of her and her husband, adding that when the brand launched, "We fell in love with her collection." Unlike the Zinnia placemats earlier on this list, these deep rust colored ones don't transfer color and are made to last. We've never had to change them and we use them all the time," she says. "There's never an issue of wine stains that don't go away."
