Mexican Design: 20 Beautiful Interior Pieces

The “Kau” Chair is a sculptural, handcrafted piece that celebrates the nearly forgotten craft traditions of the Mayan communities of Yucatán. Shaped from an iron mesh frame, this accent chair gains its striking, feathered silhouette from more than 2,000 hand-tied fringes made from agave espadín fiber—washed, combed, dyed, and prepared entirely by hand. Its cushions are woven on a traditional backstrap loom using refined henequen textile, filled with leftover plant fibers to honor a zero-waste approach.

OTEROS is a series of sculptural copper wall pieces inspired by flat-topped geological formations shaped by centuries of erosion. Each of the seven forms is hand-hammered, giving it a raw, tactile presence that highlights the craftsmanship of local Michoacán artisans. Made from upcycled copper collected from regional goldsmith workshops, the pieces develop a semi-oxidized patina through fire and acid treatments, ensuring every OTEROS sculpture is entirely unique in shape, tone, and finish.

Inspired by the Spanish phrase “de Pe a Pa,” meaning “from beginning to end,” the Pe and Pa Lamps are designed for total versatility.

Together, the series transforms elemental forces into functional, minimalist objects with symbolic depth.

The result is a warm, sculptural lighting series defined by material beauty and artisanal detail.

Tzom planters draw inspiration from the ancient tzompantli walls of Mesoamérica, where carved or real skulls once protected sacred spaces.

The result is a striking, historically rooted piece that blends sculptural presence with cultural depth.
