Mexican Designer, who spends his life exploring the dialectic of aesthetics in many different fields, including the non-physical: language, culture, sociology and anthropology. Rick has been exploring the connection between beauty and usability throughout his entire life. His work resonates with a dialectic of aesthetics from parallel fields that he brings to his craft.
Rick’s three personal projects, Ruralista, Atelier Productora, and Rossenham are the wellsprings he draws from in his journeys between design disciplines and techniques. He’s happy to link extremes like slow-and-mass production while creating new ceramic forms that challenge and delight the eye. Rick’s main objective was to understand and master the process of hand-working both wood and clay together while creating an array of projects for a diverse client base along the way. Rick’s collections are manifestations of his journey in handmade magic.
