About the Artisans
At Ayres Studio in Mexico City, they aim to support local artisans while crafting pieces that tell a story. This one-of-a-kind studio is located in the artsy enclave of the La Roma neighborhood and is woman-owned and operated. Ayres Studio visionaries and owners are Joana, a Mexican native from the Yucatan Peninsula specializing in industrial design, and Karim, a Venezuelan native with a background in textile design.
The studio partners with local artisans in both Puebla and the Yucatán to create one-of-a-kind pieces that are individually crafted by hand. When visiting the studio, the lava stone planters at the entrance catch your eyes by welcoming you in a bold, yet simplistic manner. Joana and Karim shared more about the lava stone and wood design process. The artisan’s creativity and vision play heavily into the creation of each piece. They utilize simplistic, traditional tools, mainly a chisel and hammer, to transform each stone into a functional work of art. The process can be painstaking and slow, as there is no turning back if a mistake is made. The artisans are patient and delicate, working each piece with the utmost care and passion for their trade.
After seeing the understated elegance that spring from each one-of-a-kind piece we knew we had to partner with the studio to include this unique artistry in the Wanderluxe Home collection.
