QUALITY TIME
This collection comprises five meticulously conceived pieces, each designed to emphasize the time and dedication invested in every stage of their creation. Through the design of these objects, the rich culture of Mexico is evoked, incorporating both traditional and contemporary elements that reflect our history and identity. Each piece represents a fusion of Mexican heritage with a contemporary aesthetic language, inspired by Scandinavian and Brazilian design.
Every detail, from the selection of wood to the finishing touches, reflects the students' passion and commitment to creating furniture that transcends mere practical use, evolving into an expression of art and culture. By integrating the finest aspects of our national heritage with international design influences, this collection not only appeals to the contemporary luxury market but also celebrates diversity and innovation in design.
"Luxury, beyond opulence, should be perceived and celebrated for the time and effort invested in what provides us with well-being. The small details matter the most."
ECOS DE LA CALLE
Emiliano Sánchez, Lucía Hernández
The furniture collection aims to evoke the mobility and diversity of street vendors in Mexico City and their vehicles, establishing an emotional connection with the urban culture and dynamism.
It pays homage to the vital role of these vehicles, such as the papitas (chips) cart, the tamale tricycle, and the camotes (sweet potato) cart, by combining sophistication, simplicity, and movement.
XYLOCOPA
Hellen Castillo, Astridd Huerta
Xylocopa is a collection inspired by the hexagonal structure of beehives, highlighting their strength and efficiency on a larger scale.
Each piece features an innovative and functional design, where the prominent joints not only provide solidity but also contribute to a modern and elegant aesthetic.
CALLI
Stephany Pacheco, Mayalen Ramírez
Calli draws inspiration from the huacal, a wooden container designed to be filled with objects. This functional tool reflects the hard work of commerce, serving as an anonymous yet familiar object that often goes unnoticed in its routine use.
The aim is to preserve this essence and, without pretense, elevate it to rustic luxury in a high-quality design collection.
Alabeo
Ximena Irazaba, Regina Contreras
Made up by two pieces that seek to adapt to the context of their owner, Alabeo is inspired by the circle as a pure form, creating two distinct environments; on one hand, with sober colors and defined lines; on the other, with diverse materials and playful compositions.
This collection upholds the honesty and transparency that design allows us to see through visible joints.
