Makers – Mexico

Encantada Pottery

Thereโ€™s no sign to find the small family-owned ceramic workshop in the state of Guanajuato. Behind the large wooden gate, women artisans are hand painting unfired ceramics while men work the kilns, as they have since the late 70โ€™s. Each piece has personality from the dots and swirls to the hand painted logo on the bottom. And each is lead free, microwave and dishwasher safe.

Al Centro Ceramica

Al Centro is a Mexican company that produces and distributes handcrafted ceramic pieces in Jalisco and its surroundings. The taste for its versatility, its forms and processes, developed in them a fortuitous ability to trace and collect a great variety of pieces created by different artisans and workshops. The result is a great compilation of authentic, handcrafted objects.

ร€urea Walldeco

Based in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, ร€urea Walldeco was founded in 2018. Each handmade piece is unique. Designed and crafted by Mexican artisans, with limited editions and collections.

Rafful Estudio

Rafful Estudio is a Mexican brand founded by designer Sonia Rafful. With the idea of moving away from mass production, Sonia founded Rafful Estudio as a space to experience the world of textiles, weaving and macramรฉ. Without limitations of shapes, textures or colors, she creates handmade works of art that seek to convey comfort and well-being in the home, using natural materials such as cotton, jute, wool and wood.
ย 
Since 2019, she has a workshop in Mexico City where the works offered by Rafful Estudio are made. The pieces are created with the support of women former inmates, who are serving a sentence to reintegrate into society. The studio seeks to create pieces impregnated with the love for textile art, the constant search for individuality and comfort in the home, adding warmth to the spaces.

The Nascent

The wordย nascentย means something new, and thatโ€™s what interior designer Aishwarya Jain set out to achieve when she launched her homewares line. While earning a masterโ€™s degree in Florence, Italy, she gained an appreciation for the flair and elegance that the renaissance city has to offer. Today, her small design studio hews to a muted palette, but there is nothing basic or minimal about the Nascentโ€™s handmade goods. Pillows are fringed and beaded, throws are shaggy, coasters are terrazzo (hello, Italy), and glass candle holders are tinted an alluring pastel. They are the kind of pieces that make a statement, while settling effortlessly into any modern home.
