Mestiz is a vibrant & disruptive creative studio that thrives on syncretic ventures with regional artisans.
We believe in crafting designs that engage in profound dialogues with the context and history of each community we work with. Utilizing natural materials such as palm, wood, ceramics, wool, and wicker, we infuse every piece with the essence of its place of origin.
Our practice is a living testament to the merging of traditions. Our pieces are an embodiment of cultural syncretism, where diverse influences converge to create something entirely new. We're proud to be torchbearers of this legacy, breathing life into each creation.
