Places

Studiolo&Bottega
Art and design continue to be associated with a high degree of elitism. In our bookstore, we have a wide selection of books not only about art, but also about how to understand art. We also strive to explain it simply in our communication. Because art isn't something to show off, it's something to share.
-
Silvestra
We like to think of Silvestra as imbued with feminine energy, from its origin to the cup—the energy of care, creativity, quality craftsmanship, and what is born honestly and sustained with intention. We came for the bread, fell in love with the coffee, and are still here for everything this place continues to awaken.
-
EME Art Laboratory
We're interested in working with photographers who are passionate about analog photography. We'd love to collaborate with them on reviewing and producing their portfolios, experimenting with tests, sharing processes, and giving them a firsthand look at how an image is created from scratch.
-
Half Lab Box
Medio Cuadro Lab was born in mid-2020 more out of necessity than a project. Photographers like us didn't have a lab readily available; there wasn't one in Puerto Vallarta, so we forced ourselves to build one ourselves.
-
La Vera Film House
We are influenced by Japanese spirituality and the dedication they put into crafts and techniques like sashiko, in which, through patience and dedication, they create beautiful and aesthetically pleasing repairs. Thus, we identify each roll as a unique vision that requires patience, care, and respect.

Empty Book
Having explored a large part of Jimbocho, the book district in Tokyo, and entered as many bookstores as my feet and energy allowed, made me believe that it is possible for so many bookstores to coexist in the same city and that they are all visited for the very different things they have to offer.

Simon Punto Café
I find it interesting to create a routine and a ritual within Simón. I think that being on two such busy avenues allows you to choose to own the street, become a part of other people's daily lives, and also create a community among the neighboring stalls.
-
Bengala
We always return to the idea that gave us our start: light as a form of expression. It is our creative beacon and what reminds us that each roll of film and each image is a different way of seeing and sharing the world.
-
Grana Café
On the surface, Grana as a project strives to be relaxed, and we invite our guests to have a good time. However, every step we take is intentional. We love to experience through play, and we can't deny that nostalgia inspires us.
-
Liminal
Liminal was born from the goal of becoming a transitional space between a coffee bar, kitchen, and bookstore. Throughout the project, other cultural forms have been added, such as exhibitions of works by local artists and film and book clubs.
-
Malice
We're disruptive, eager to explore new methods and flavors. Our ritual is a sensorial journey—from the cup of coffee to cocktails, including art and workshops. We seek to surprise with every topic and every sip: not knowing what to expect is part of our mischievous game.

Bodæga
The moment I walked in, I knew exactly where everything would go. Most chefs I know, when asked this same question, always answer, "They didn't choose the place, the place chose them." Honestly, I never believed in that until it happened to me.
