Where are we now
January 7th 2025, marks the closing of COAL SPINE—a chapter that has been my creative playground, sanctuary, and source of growth. While bittersweet, this moment is a reflection of clarity and evolution.
I’m stepping forward into a new chapter, one that carries my name: Mara Chevalier. This shift represents my journey toward creating a cohesive, authentic expression of my work—spanning objects,spaces, textiles, photography, and storytelling.
To everyone who supported COAL SPINE: thank you. Your encouragement has shaped this journey, and I’m beyond grateful.
Follow along on Instagram (@ateliermarachevalier) and the site to see what’s next. This is just the beginning.
The site will be archived for a month and available for you to contact us if necessary. The Instagram page will be archived also, but we will not be active there.
For any further questions regarding our products or orders, reach out at hello@coalspine.com or mara@marachevalier.com.
Thank you
