Book details

In 1952, Cuban-Mexican designer Clara Porset organized Mexico's first design exhibition, El arte en la vida diaria. Objetos de buen diseño hechos en México. That show, together with Porset's ideas, marked a turning point in the trajectory of design in this country by aspiring to unify local traditions and the dream of industrialization.This book surveys the genealogy of artisans, promoters, entrepreneurs, and designers who have contributed to the development of Mexican artisanal design for the better part of the last seventy years, staking their claims on a hybrid or mestizo form of material culture and furnishing modern life with a locally specific way of producing objects.
