Day three at Expo Mueble and finally: lighting.

For five years, I’ve been trying to find lighting in Mexico that I could really get behind. There’s always been incredible furniture, textiles, craftsmanship and materials—but interesting lighting? In my opinion, that’s been the missing piece.

Well, the game is officially on.

I saw so many good lamps today—sculptural pieces, beautiful materials, unexpected shapes, and even options to design your own. This is the kind of progress I’ve been waiting for.

Viva México. 🇲🇽 Give it another five years and my bet is this country’s design industry will be in a class of its own.

Day two at Expo Mueble and apparently we still have room on the camera roll.

More textiles, artwork, turned wood tables and rattan furniture caught our eye today—lots of texture, natural materials and pieces that feel distinctly Mexican without trying too hard.

A few things may already be mentally assigned to future projects. Occupational hazard.

Yesterday’s finds at Expo Mueble: rich leathers, sinuous shapes, natural materials and texture galore. Basically, all the things I’m always looking for.

This year’s show is the best one I’ve been to by far—stronger designs, better craftsmanship and a lot more pieces I can actually imagine using in a project. Which, frankly, is not always the case at a furniture expo.

My camera roll is now completely out of control.

**We’re headed back to Expo Muebles — round four! 🇲🇽🛋️**

Next week we’re back on the ground at Expo Mueble Internacional — Latin America’s largest furniture and décor trade fair, held twice a year in Guadalajara — for the fourth time. We’ll be shopping for current clients and reconnecting with vendors, some we’ve worked with for years, some brand new to us.

If you’ve been following along, you know sourcing here isn’t like sourcing at home. Expo trips are how we close that gap — walking the floor, touching materials, and building the vendor relationships that make it possible to actually deliver for our clients in Mexico.

So tell us — **for those of you living here, what’s the hardest thing to track down in Mexico?** Drop it in the comments — quality bedding? Statement lighting? A decent bar stool that isn’t $600 USD? We want to know, and it might just end up on our shopping list. 👇

We came to San Miguel de Allende for my sister-in-law’s 50th birthday bash, and because apparently we can’t go anywhere without finding something design-related to investigate, we squeezed in visits to two tile manufacturers yesterday before the party.

More on those soon, once I recover from last night’s fiesta—family, fabulous food and mariachi in the town square. Pretty hard to top.

Also, San Miguel is making me question whether Vallarta is my final stop in Mexico. I may have found my next move…TBD 🤔

More room, more ideas, more samples… and, naturally, more stuff.

The new office is coming together and we’re loving having room to spread out, collaborate and make the kind of mess that we like to call “the design process.”

Our sample library is growing too—which means more options, better selections and a much better chance of finding that just-right fabric, finish or material for a client. It also means I apparently need even more shelves.

Is it finished? Not even close. There’s still plenty of tweaking, styling, rearranging and moving things two inches to the left, staring at them, and moving them right back.

But it’s feeling more and more like us. A little layered, a little chaotic, and very much a work in progress.

Been quiet here lately — partly because inspiration hasn’t been flowing the way it usually does, and partly because I’m recovering from a recent surgery. Some weeks just call for slowing down instead of forcing it.

Between that, a boatload of work, meeting new vendors around Mexico, and an unexpected wave of homesickness for Portland this summer — there’s been a lot going on behind the scenes.

Back soon with more from the studio. Thanks for being here. 🤍

There’s a difference between ‘Mexican design’ and design that happens to be in Mexico.

One adds things that look like Mexico.

The other is built from what Mexico actually makes.

Ceramic tile. Hand-hammered copper pendants. Carved cantera stone. Handwoven Oaxacan rugs.

This is the craft tradition of this country — and it’s extraordinary. Our job is to use it with intention.
