MEET THE ARTISANS OF MEXICO CITY
This talented design collective based in Mexico City is the brainchild of an industrial designer from Yucatán, Mexico and a textile designer from Caracas, Venezuela. Giving true meaning to the word ‘collective’, they work with artisans from several states in Mexico – Puebla, Veracruz and Yucatán using fair trade standards.
Every item created highlights an important craft of the artisan’s region – they are all pieces of ancestral traditions that would be lost, if not for collectives like this.
HANDMADE IN MEXICO
Under the Ayres Collectivo, we have a new artisan partner from San Salvador El Seco. They work with various local materials including Guayacán and Tzalam woods, volcanic stone, marble and natural leathers to design utilitarian objects and furniture with a primary aesthetic, inspired by historical, natural and primitive roots.

Supporting Women: Judith's Story
