Basalto Collective is a platform that fosters a dialogue between contemporary design, traditional craftsmanship, and cultural heritage. Transcending borders, it acts as a conduit for the world to experience the exquisite craftsmanship of Mexico through the lens of design. A space that offers a curated selection of top–tier contemporary design items, accompanied by their exclusive stories, aimed at bringing awareness to Mexico’s cultural origins and vibrant design scene. Its collection is a harmonious blend of materials, textures, and forms, meticulously assembled from the distinctive works of avant–garde designers.

Basalto Collective presents Native Matter at the second edition of DESIGN DIALOGUE by Ark Journal during 3daysofdesign. The exhibition is a curatorial reflection on origin, identity, and transformation through form, showcasing contemporary Mexican design. Each piece explores how geography and heritage are embedded in process—where tradition evolves into new expressions of function and meaning. Featuring Ayres, Comité de Proyectos, Federico Stefanovich, José Bermúdez, Peca, Sebastián Ángeles, Siete Studio, and Studio H. Fernández, the show reflects a vibrant cross–section of Mexico’s design culture. Throughout the exhibition, Basalto Collective will host a series of activations to foster dialogue on craftsmanship and contemporary design.

By KlipKlap designs adapt to both time and individual needs—what the brand calls 'design for generations.' This philosophy stems from the belief that furniture lasts longer when it supports a multifunctional way of living. Founded in 2010, By KlipKlap began with the purpose of enhancing and stimulating children’s motor skills through multifunctional mattresses. Each piece is crafted using durable textiles and high-quality foam that retains its shape, even after years of extensive use. The mattresses can be folded in various ways, encouraging hours of activity and quality time for all family members. From essential tummy time for babies to toddler play, teenage lounging, and even serving as a guest bed, the designs evolve with every stage of life.
