Design Profile: Marie Soliman
Spaces with Soul, Stories with Substance
On December 1st, we celebrate not just a birthday, but the creative legacy of a woman whose design language continues to shape interiors across the globe: Marie Soliman, founder and creative director of Bergman Design House, and visionary behind The Lund Collection Tulum.
Born in Cairo, educated in the arts, and now internationally renowned, Marie’s journey is one of intuition, resilience, and bold creative pursuit. Her work is not bound by rules or trends, it’s driven by feeling, shaped by culture, and expressed with authenticity. She designs with heart, balancing the theatrical and the quiet, the refined and the unexpected.
At the core of her vision lies a deep respect for storytelling. Every project by Marie feels like a chapter from a novel you want to keep reading. Each space layered with textures, memories, curiosities, and craft. Whether it’s a private residence in London or a retreat in the jungles of Tulum, her interiors invite you in, ask you to linger, and whisper something meaningful as you move through them.
Under her creative direction, Bergman Design House has become a reference in luxury hospitality and residential design, not through predictability, but through emotional depth and boundary-pushing aesthetics. Projects range from opulent hotels and private yachts to experiential wellness spaces and curated hideaways, each one capturing a unique soul. Nothing is static. Everything evolves.
One of the most intimate expressions of her style is The Lund Collection Tulum, a boutique rental property that Marie co-created as both a personal refuge and a testament to slow, intentional living. Here, her design philosophy takes on new life: raw materials meet artisanal touches, sculptural furniture meets open air, and every element feels in tune with its surroundings. It’s not just a place to stay, it’s a feeling to remember.
But beyond her creative output, Marie is a beacon for women in design. She leads with empathy, courage, and clarity, carving space for emotion in an industry that so often favours minimalism over meaning. Her presence is unapologetic, feminine, powerful. In a world chasing aesthetics, she reminds us that real beauty is lived, not just seen.
At MAEVE, we are continually inspired by creators who shape emotion through form, who build not just interiors but experiences, and Marie Soliman is one of them. Her ability to blend narrative and nuance, art and atmosphere, leaves a quiet, lasting impact that goes far beyond the visual.
So today, on her birthday, we honour more than a career, we honour a spirit. One that reminds us of the transformative power of design when it is guided not by rules, but by soul.
Happy birthday, Marie.
