San Miguel de Allende has long been a window into traditional Mexico but now, designers are springboarding off the city's history with decidedly modern results.
Maison Numen sells wares from all across the Americas and their Mexican selection is quite different from other sellers. They find artisan brands and stock them on their site, like Luis Vega s minimalist vases, Colorindio s textile pieces and Petate s modern take on palm baskets. It s where to go for the new names in Mexican design and to find something contemporary.
A search for Mexican on W.A.Green s site – or better, asking someone in store – will bring up all manner of lovely colourful glassware, milagros tablemats and folkloric candlesticks. The selection is small, but well curated with a good eye for current takes on Mexican tradition.
