For their debut collection, I decided to recognize Guadalajara’s immense manufacturing potential by exploring over 52 local craftsmanship techniques. This extensive research was narrowed down to four key methods: wood carving, metal spinning, stoneware making, and glass molding.
Each technique was chosen for its scalability and cost-effective production. While the objects were not designed to mimic traditional heritage pieces, they inherently reflect the material culture of the region where they were crafted, embodying a contemporary narrative rooted in local craftsmanship.
Design in collaboration with Manuel Montoya
