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.

Buneē reimagines the relationship between architecture, materiality, and everyday objects. Rooted in space, nature, and form, it crafts functional designs in marble, ceramics, wood, and textiles, emphasising natural textures and finishes. Simple, clean forms and geometric structures highlight both material and function. Imperfection is embraced in hand–crafted pieces, made by small–batch artisans using traditional techniques with a low environmental impact. More than just objects, Buneē represents a way of living—prioritising mindful consumption, where each piece serves more than one function. Sustainability is approached with longevity in mind, valuing craftsmanship over trends and creating objects that solve more with less.

AOT is a small family–run design company based in Copenhagen. Driven by challenging materials, they aim to liberate these materials from what is expected of them. Inventing new hand–made processes is a core element of their practice where doing things the conventionally 'wrong' way, has proved to be ideal for creating things that are both original and classic. Things that are easy to read yet easy on the eye! AOT is both a design studio and a production house and everything they produce is made in Denmark — either in–house or with carefully sourced producers. This is a key part of AOT, as it enables their insistence and audacity to create things that are hand-made in Denmark and still affordable.
