Mexico’s artists and designers draw on the country’s rich history and culture. This gives Mexican craftsmanship its own unique signature
Save time by listening to our audio articles as you multitaskMs Escobedo is one of several Mexican designers gaining international attention. Many work across disciplines: Ms Escobedo has built furniture as well as shops, hotels and social-housing projects. Architects and artists are certain that “si, se puede hacer”—”yes, we can do it”—she says. “There is an energy, a sense of confidence, a persistence and a sense of solidarity here.
Efforts to promote Mexican designers increased, led from within the industry rather than by the government. Since 2011, a showcase of jewellery, textiles and furniture, has been held in Mexico City, drawing attention to the work of artisans. Boutique galleries have proliferated. In recent years new design partnerships have been established, such as the exhibitions jointly hosted by Brian Thoreen, an American artist, and Héctor Esrawe, a Mexican designer.
Mexican universities are paying more attention to the country’s own styles. Ms Mallet says that five years ago she would not have been hired to teach the history of design in Mexico. Earlier courses covered Bauhaus and other international movements, but “now it is about recuperating the link people had lost to our history and territory,” she says. Likewise, rather than “taking objects from elsewhere, copying them, adapting them to Mexico and selling them, there is a local design culture.
In his formative years Mr Rojo spent hours in the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, taking inspiration from its artefacts . For example, a bottle he designed for Tequila Decáda, a drinks company, draws on Mexico’s history. The bottom part is a pyramid, nodding to pre-Hispanic cultures, while the top features an “X” that refers to the “x” in Mexico as well as the country’s Christian heritage.
