\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n

How did this place come about and what made it different from the start?<\/strong>
Siempre he tenido la pasi\u00f3n por el arte popular que me transmitieron en mi familia. Metate empez\u00f3 en 2020 en la Roma, pero desde varios a\u00f1os antes yo ya estaba experimentando con ciertos dise\u00f1os junto con artesanos. Fue hasta la pandemia que tuve la oportunidad de abrir el primer espacio dedicado a implementar todo un estilo de vida con piezas hechas a mano y mexicanas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lo que lo hizo diferente fue la selecci\u00f3n, mis dise\u00f1os y las intervenciones de piezas artesanales. Tambi\u00e9n he tenido la oportunidad de conocer en persona a los artesanos que hacen piezas muy \u00fanicas, en sus espacios creativos. Acercarme a ellos y a sus familias, y buscar la manera de traducir mis ideas en objetos que siguen representando sus t\u00e9cnicas ancestrales e incluso milenarias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What part of the day, space, or creative process do those who work here enjoy the most?<\/strong>
Disfrutamos mucho contagiar a los clientes el amor por lo hecho a mano y mostrar todas las posibilidades que tiene cada t\u00e9cnica para crear piezas tan especiales, algunas de ellas m\u00e1s contempor\u00e1neas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If someone is coming in for the first time, what should they not miss?<\/strong>
La curiosidad que me ha llevado a conocer el infinito universo creativo de las artes y oficios artesanales de M\u00e9xico. El privilegio de tener en sus manos una pieza \u00fanica que representa lo m\u00e1s espiritual de las artes y oficios creados a partir de las creencias, costumbres, el contacto con la naturaleza y la manera en la que, a partir de todo eso, los artesanos luchan por mantener su oficio, que no es otra cosa que su agradecimiento a la madre tierra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What has been an interesting challenge that has made you rethink something about the project?<\/strong>
Tener buenos precios para nuestros clientes, tanto extranjeros como mexicanos, pero jam\u00e1s regatearle al artesano y lograr que siga siendo un negocio. Apoyarlo y, en mi medida, inspirarlo. Siempre pago justo y puntual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What influence, idea, or reference continues to shape the way you work today?<\/strong>
Las ganas de preservar las distintas t\u00e9cnicas artesanales que existen hoy en M\u00e9xico y ponerlas en lo m\u00e1s alto del mundo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

What place, project, or person has inspired you recently and why?<\/strong>
Jap\u00f3n. Fui hace poco y me inspir\u00f3 mucho su cer\u00e1mica. Creo que compartimos el mismo respeto por la creaci\u00f3n de una pieza hecha a mano. No son objetos; son entes con historia y alma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If your space could invite someone to collaborate for a day, who would it be and what would you do together?<\/strong>
Creo que me gustar\u00eda abrir mis espacios colaborativos invitando a diversos artesanos de otros pa\u00edses que tengan una propuesta de elaboraci\u00f3n que se conjunte con los oficios que conocemos en M\u00e9xico.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

M\u00e1s que invitar a una personalidad, me gustar\u00eda fusionar t\u00e9cnicas para que el arte hecho a mano se fusione. As\u00ed ha sido antes, y habr\u00eda que estimularlo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Is there an object, corner or detail of the place that has a story that few people know?<\/strong>
A lo largo de mis viajes por M\u00e9xico he descubierto artesanos muy \u00fanicos que viven en comunidades poco conectadas y, lamentablemente, es dif\u00edcil tener comunicaci\u00f3n con ellos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Por ejemplo, Pablo, un artesano del estado de Michoac\u00e1n que, a pesar de su edad, hace una vajilla pintada a mano excepcional. Nadie m\u00e1s de su regi\u00f3n pinta as\u00ed de bonito y detallado; es un verdadero artista.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tambi\u00e9n me gustar\u00eda resaltar algo que a la vista parece \u201ct\u00edpico\u201d o \u201cfolcl\u00f3rico\u201d, pero pocos saben que casi todas las piezas tienen detr\u00e1s un proceso muy elaborado, de mucha paciencia y sabidur\u00eda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If this project were a city, a book, or a record, which would it be and why?<\/strong>
The book In Praise of Shadows<\/em> de Junichiro Tanizaki es un libro que me inspir\u00f3 mucho por la filosof\u00eda detr\u00e1s de la est\u00e9tica japonesa, que al final tiene una conexi\u00f3n con nuestras tradiciones artesanales mexicanas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tanizaki describe que la belleza es aquello que conserva la huella de quien lo hizo. Tambi\u00e9n define la idea de que la belleza no nace de la perfecci\u00f3n, sino de las texturas, de los materiales naturales, de sus sombras y de sus formas irregulares.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Otro libro que me encanta es La po\u00e9tica del espacio<\/em> de Gast\u00f3n Bachelard, en donde se habla de c\u00f3mo en la casa los objetos hacen que se sienta habitada, con vida y guardan recuerdos. Cada pieza habita el espacio no solo como objeto decorativo, sino como presencia sensible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
