Tradition and modernity in the same object.
Mérida is our most recent collaboration with Libbey, the largest producer of consumer glass objects in the American continent. This collection of glass containers takes up elements of one of the most representative creative techniques of Mexican culture: weaving of natural fibers.
From the times of pre-Hispanic civilizations, to the present, containers and all kinds of objects have been woven in different materials to accompany people in their day to day. This is the idea that led us to use the texture commonly found in hand-woven objects in industrial production pieces, thus mixing centuries of tradition with current methods of mass production.
This project is the result of a design collaboration with Joel Escalona's Studio, as well as with the delaO design Studio consultancy to achieve a process rich in research, design and development with the intention of producing thousands of pieces to reach the largest number of possible homes, with a product that not only speaks of the past, but also represents the relevance of design in the national industry.
We love sharing what we are doing in the studio and our vision of design. You can follow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter. You can also subscribe to our newsletter.
