Geneva, New York and Singapore-based Galerie Philia have unveiled Transatlántico, an immersive exhibition of sculptural design from Latin America, taking place in Mexico City from 8-12 February 2022.

Coinciding with Zona Maco, the exhibition spotlights the new generation of Latin American designers, hailing from Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Puerto Rico, Venezuela, and the Dominican Republic, in dialogue with leading designers from Europe exhibited in Mexico for the first time.

Hot off the heels of their artist residency Transhumances in Florence last year, Transatlántico reflects Galerie Philia’s core philosophy that celebrates artistry as a medium to transcend societal, cultural and geographical boundaries, using design to bridge Latin American and European discourses and influences within the creative sphere.

Among the highlights are striking chairs by Cristián Mohaded who explores carpentry made using native woods such as missionary moor cedar and other endemic Argentinian materials; geometric furniture and decorative objects by Breuer Estudio, inspired by the pure lines of Constantin Brancusi’s sculptures. Further highlights include La Macorina by Verdi Design, a pendulum-type sculpture composed of 4,000 handmade knots in Amazonian fibre and a feathered exterior that subtly transforms into a hammock, the OBJ-01 new collection of floor and table geometric lamps by Manu Bañó, made of pure steel and brass, and the latest series of lighting objects by VIDIVIXI.

Environmental design using natural fabrics and sustainable, earthy materials feature prominently in the show. Major works include Alejandra Aristizábal’s striking artisanal compositions made with fique, a native plant from the Andean region, transformed into textiles and ropes and Caralarga’s exceptional woven designs made from discarded fabric waste.

Unfolding across 700-square-metres of gallery space and a specially designed rooftop, the exhibition takes visitors on a multisensory journey of vibrant sight and sound displays, with Andres Monnier’s signature rugged boulder fire pits illuminating the space and scents diffused through functional pieces engineered by Rio de Janeiro-based architectural Studio Roca to evoke the Mexican ecosystem.

The immersive scenography is organised in collaboration with House of Kirschner, renowned for their avant-garde ephemeral installations imagined by their team of talented professionals. Drawing from Mauricio Kirschner’s exceptional creative eye and extensive experience as an architect, Transatlántico brings together the finest food, sound, sight and olfactory experience under one roof.
