About
Demetrio Collazos is a designer with a background in industrial design in Colombia and a second degree in interior architecture and furniture design from the Institute of Design in Lahti, Finland.
His ongoing philosophy, Us by Design, is rooted in philosophical materialism: the belief that our identities, values, and ways of living are shaped by the material conditions of the world around us. For him, design isn’t merely a surface fix; it’s a deeper act that influences how we live, behave, and connect.
Whether designing a chair, a space, or an everyday object, Demetrio perceives design as both a mirror and a mould, reflecting who we are and shaping who we become. His work emphasises clarity, emotional connection, and everyday use, always aware that every design choice carries social, cultural, and political weight.
