the collection heritage, a creative dialog
on the occasion of the 2022 paris design week, which took place from september 08 to 17, maison marcoux mexico was pleased to invest the new cosentino city paris showroom, located at 27 bd malesherbes paris 8 to present exclusively the new collection heritage, imagined by the mexican designer raúl de la cerda, after a residency in the region in oaxaca
the vases of the collection heritage are pieces made in san bartolo coyotepec by el maestro felipe fabian pedro, chosen by raúl de la cerda and sylvain marcoux for his unique savoir-faire.
the four sculptural vases from the collection heritage are made by hand, with simple forms of pre-hispanic aesthetics that pay homage to the powerful ancestral roots of raúl de la cerda. they thus highlight the beauty of the material, decontextualizing forms and temporality.
inspired by traditional forms and the desire to infuse them with a mesoamerican touch, the collection heritage exploits this ancient vocabulary to create a unique blend of polished and rough barro negro – black clay
after the paris design week in september 2022, the collection heritage was exhibited at the cultural institute of mexico in paris during el día de los muertos, in november 2023 and at the milano design week 2023 from april 18 to 23 at the palazzo dele meraviglie / museo bagatti velsecchi. the collection heritage will be exhibited at revelations – the international biennial of art crafts and creation – at the paris grand palais éphémère from 07 to 11 June 2023.
and in the legendary flat of yves saint-laurent and pierre bergé, 3 place vauban paris 7 on 28 june 2023 during a group show with the gallery traits libres.
maison marcoux mexico and the mexicanidad
between yesterday and today, design, craftsmanship and diversity, ancestral heritage and contemporary creation, maison marcoux mexico refuses to choose. like sylvain marcoux, he happily draws a link between paris and mexico.
the true culmination of sylvain marcoux’s deep commitment to creation and designers, the collections mezcalienne and heritage in barro negro – high-flying editions – already place maison marcoux mexico at the forefront of international design.
