Nodo

Info
The entire universe is shaped from multiple connections that are arranged according to their capacity to give structure. Unison is created between each contact point to establish a common balance. From this, the inspiration for nodo was drawn: a furniture collection consisting of a network with numerous connections that generate its structure and geometry.
Nodo takes the essence from the classic piece of furniture and transforms it into a dynamic object completely made out of fiberglass. The interwoven fibers were not only designed to function as a structural component but to allow the piece to behave as a membrane through which communication between the environment and its context is encouraged. Instead of a solid surface piece, this product has an open aesthetic, displaying its content in an honest manner while using little material and maintaining high structural resistance.
Thus far, the nodo collection consists of a console, a coffee table, a floor and a desk lamp in red, black and yellow colors. we are currently working on new applications exploring this innovative technique.

Mexcal +Contemporary Ritual
Mezcal is a traditional elixir from Mexico. The pre-Hispanic drink holds medicinal properties and entails rituals in which a connection with the gods is established.
Despite its growing popularity around the world, mezcal is still being served in common tequila shots, without outstanding its distinctive flavors and properties. Thinking about that we decided that such an iconic drink needs special containers designed for it, in order to generate new rituals for a public that requires different spiritual connections.
MEXCAL is inspired in the traditional water tanks from Mexico City. Transferring that aerial aesthetic from the rooftop to the tabletop.
The set is comprised of four 2 oz. shots and a 14 oz. jar completely hand made on ceramics and wood. The shot ́s cap has a double function: between coaster when assembled to the bottom and a small container when inversely used for the worm salt and orange ritual.
The shots are available in a variety of ceramic finishes and clays, with caps artisanally turned on a lathe over different kinds of wood like tzalam, walnut and pine.
MEXCAL is an exclusive design. Drink it straight.

Geodesic Dome + Avemed
The geodesic dome emerges from the need to build a large reunion space which adapts to different areas, plus being easily assembled and moved. this structure is durable, sustainable and contains a high symbolic value.
Thought to be set up in public spaces, the tent is built on a geodesic dome structure consisting of cardboard tubing and powder-coated steel connections. The interior holds conferences, meditation-yoga sessions and even theater performances.
Its form and cover not only generate excellent acoustical and structural properties, but allow fresh air to flow into the space, protecting users from the suffocating heat of the desert in Coahuila, México.
In addition, the design confers a symbolic message that connects its visitors and unifies them at a physical, emotional and spiritual level.

Natural Paint
Gallery
Info
How would objects look like today if petrochemical products never
existed? Eventually we are running out of petroleum in a near
future, what would be our options for finishes and wood
conservation? In order to answer these questions we decided to
explore, experiment, and develop natural paints consistently
produced from raw materials.
The natural paint collection is a colour palette consisting of tints made out of organic and mineral renewable resources like rosin, linseed oil, tar and clay earth pigments.
The project shows that natural and traditional finishes can give us surprising results on the treatment process. reinventing the aesthetics on how the material must perfectly look.
This collection consists of paint samples and ten containers, which functioned as the medium to make the project tangible and display the richness and organic essence of wood.
