Creative Immersions
A French designer placed inside a Mexican workshop, for a residency.
What it is
A residency program between France and Mexico running since 2023. The method is slow on purpose: a French designer is placed with a craft workshop and stays long enough to learn the trade rather than commission it. This edition shows six of those pairings in the house Barragán built for himself before he was Barragán.
