Who we are


Mariana has degrees in journalism and software engineering, but what really lights her up is working with her hands and being in the mountains. As a child she loved nailing together furniture for her sister’s dolls, making notebooks, and staring for hours at her Nanka* sewing. She is the soul behind the mountaineering clothes and the Daribox.

Simon is a robotics engineer with a glint for mountaineering and talent for handcrafting and mechanics. As a child he was building legos and ships, and cable cars. Simon is the creative mind behind the ski holder and the lamps.

* Nanka means great-grandma in the dialect of the Rhodope mountains where Mariana grew up in.
