Vernacular2019
EAAD is the School of Art, Architecture, and Design at Tecnológico de Monterrey, the largest private university in Mexico.

For their participation as an institution at Abierto Mexicano de Diseño 2019, I was invited to design and produce the scenography.

VERNACULAR is a national exhibition of Mexican vernacular design. A mapping and redesign of vernacular furniture from various neighborhoods, cities, and states across different regions of our country.

Under the guidance of mexican designer Moisés Hernández and the curation of Ana Elena Mallet, the selected projects reveal the condition of a country where precariousness is still the norm and the culture of design remains a work in progress.
The collection explores new ways of looking at the local environment, allowing students to understand that the history of national design is also shaped by those small stories—of anonymous pieces that respond to context, needs, and local conditions.

The exhibition layout presents the furniture pieces at different heights, referencing the geographical context that varies across the country. The four “islands” represent each region involved in the project. At the center, part of the students’ research is displayed in the form of maps, drawings, photographs, and models.

Now based in Mexico City, his practice for brands and institutions explores the tension between the local landscape and the possibilities of mass production. Grounded in a hands-on, rough-making approach, his work spans contract industry solutions and material experimentation, reflecting on contemporary culture and proposing alternative ways of living through objects.
