Chuch, or cute in Mayan.
It's an emerging design studio whose workspace is also its store. In a gently restored house in downtown Merida, prototypes and finished products coexist with artisans putting the finishing touches on pieces with happy clients and the occasional lazy pet wandering through the garden and rooms filled with objects.
Delicious local produce and the occasional delicacy with an international flair are freely arranged throughout the space. There are flavors, shapes, colors and textures that you recognize but with the freshness and quality of a mexican context rich in materials that Natalia, Aranza and Lorena put to the test to mix fearlessly and deliver a cocktail of unique, sensitive and irreverent design that you will want to have on your table, in your house or in your backyard.
Chuch establishes healthy relationships with artisans to give a juicy twist to the rules and bring the joyful and everyday back to the objects they produce.

Who are some artists that have influenced your work?
"Design is a tool, not just to make nice things in a very decorative way, design is much more complex than that. Design is a very powerful form of communication, a very important form of expression. In my opinion, it is an art. Design can allow people to talk about the important issues, whether political, religious or philosophical, have one of the chairs express a political content". Gaetano Pesce
