Lo Esencial

Lo Esencial is a brand of nomad utilitarian objects, which arises under the premise of the designer Adolfo Navarro of creating simple, iconic, and timeless objects: made with durable materials, that could be used daily. Seeking for objects to be seen as more than just accessories since they are full of stories, emotions, and details.

To speak about design in an object is not only referring to the typical one that is acquired to stand still in a room but to achieve better objects to take daily in our pockets; simple objects, used daily in a better way. Truly transcendent objects.

The space of Lo Esencial is located in Morelos #1760, in the neighborhood Americana in Guadalajara; a space to try, use, and personalize every object of the brand.

Oficios

Oficios is a business founded by Miriam Villaseñor in 2018 that produces expositions, auctions, and special sales of art, folk art, and design, Oficio’s projects support the living heritage (the people) and the non-living heritage (their work). In the physical store, they expose about one word (e.g. color, earth, metal, air) products from México and Latin America to dialogue about it and therefore show a catalog speaking about the actual lifestyle seen from the culture of the participating countries. Every selection lasts 4 months in the store.

The store and its selection- which changes every 4 months- are in charge of Christian Ibarra, Badi Zárate, and Miriam Villaseñor and it is located in Casa Mucha in the neighborhood of Santa Teresita, in the heart of Guadalajara City.

Apotheca Botanica

Apotheca Botanica, by Matzuko Nishijima and Olympia Frangos, born more than 10 years ago with the idea of having a store that would provide design to florists. The project started as an online store until they finally decided to open a physical store. 

The concept focuses on curing pieces of every kind to enhance events as well as houses. The ceramic and the candles (with more than 100 colors) are the main elements that started to form the brand, later joining the plants and wooden pieces. You could also find work clothes, dried flowers, scissors, etc.

The ceramic bases are made at high temperatures and are inspired by 2 collections; the classic line, traditional, and another with lines and modern and clean shapes.

Apotheca is found in Lucerna 62. Juárez, CDMX.

Sioux

In the space, they have artistic residencies, inspired by fashion and art. They also recollect clothes to donate to non-profits that help women in occupational reinsertion or that have suffered violence; they give workshops and conferences focused on a more conscious fashion. 

The shopping experience is guided through styling as well as a quest to preserve quality pieces to be a basic part of a wardrobe. A space of creative interaction, with quest and input on the growth of the fashion industry in Mexico.
