Explore some of the best CONTEMPORARY DESIGN that MEXICO has to offer, from exceptional ARCHITECTURE and colourful INTERIORS to playful JEWELLERY and artisanal FURNITURE.
THINK MEXICO, and undoubtedly rich history, beautifully woven textiles and vibrant colours come to mind. From the grand pyramids and sculptures of the Olmecs to Frida Kahlo's iconic self-portraits, Mexico is a melting pot of creativity that's been bubbling away for centuries. Today, work by the likes of architects Alberto Kalach and Mauricio Rocha continues to push creative boundaries. Here are a few projects that celebrate the ingenuity of this Latin American country.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Inspired by the beauty of the Yucatan region, CO-LAB Design Office was founded by Joana Gomes and Joshua Beck in 2010, and offers architectural, interior and landscape design services that allow for a holistic approach on all projects. CO-LAB's Lúum Temple (pictured here), located in the fast-growing beach town of Tulum, is part of a new residential project called Lúum Zama. Unlike other developments in the region, 50% of the eight-hectare property has been set aside for conservation. Lúum Zama aims to create awareness around more sustainable ways of developing, using both modern design techniques and artisanal craftmanship. Set in the heart of the development and within an area of indigenous jungle, the temple - which is used for yoga, meditation and other workshops - is only accessible on foot. It was assembled using flat sections of bamboo bent on site, screwed and strapped together, then covered with a local thatch roofing. The bamboo was farmed sustainably in a neighbouring region. co-labdesignoffice.com
