The art world recently descended on Mexico City for its annual Art Week, imbuing the already-bustling creative capital with even more layers of energy. And a lot of energy is needed to see it all—from the fairs (Zona Maco, Salon Acme, Material) to the museums and open studios. While there is no shortage of art to see, design is increasingly playing a larger part.
Zona Maco has a section dedicated to design (including fashion and jewelry), Unique Design X was conveniently located in the same building as the Feria Material, and Territorio showcased Mexican designers in the bucolic setting of Chapultepec Park. Design galleries Ago Projects and MASA both showed new work from their artists, and several lesser-known but promising designers opened their studios to the public for the first time. In many cases, the locations were as beautiful as the works on display. Discover 10 standout moments here.
